Ave trains with direction to/from Madrid-Sevilla & Madrid-Toledo have been STOPPED temporarily due to a crane falling on the tracks outside of Madrid. It seems two cranes, hoisting a cement portion of a bridge over the train tracks, have fallen over, covering the rails. It happened just after 1am this morning. You can watch live helicopter video coverage on TeleMadrid SAT online via the the Spain Radio, TV, Music, & Movies page - but you may have to watch awhile before they return to LIVE coverage. I'll update in a few minutes when I have more information.

No injuries, thank goodness, and RENFE hope to have the repairs made and train lines back in service sometime tonight. Saludos, MadridMan
