Accident and Suspension
Five people were killed and at least 27 injured when a tram derailed in late August 2011. All service has been indefinitely suspended since the accident. Service was still suspended in early 2013, but 14 new two-axle trams have ordered for the line from a Brazilian manufacturer named T'Trans (based in Três Rios), and delivery is projected to begin in November 2014.
