Cranes prepare to lift up and remove a dismantled train carriage that fell into a river after floods destroyed a bridge section of a railway line in Guanghan city, Southwest China's Sichuan province, August 20, 2010. A 18-carriage train traveling from Xi'an, capital of northwestern Shaanxi province, to Kunming, capital of southwestern Yunnan province passed the Shitingjiang railway bridge at 3:20 pm Thursday when a section of the bridge suddenly collapsed. All passengers had been ordered off the two carriages before two carriages fell into the Shitingjiang River, in Xiaohan town, Guanghan. All of them had been moved to Kunming safely as of Friday afternoon, according to the Chengdu railway bureau. The railway line links Chengdu, capital of Sichuan, and Baoji in Shaanxi. [Photo/Xinhua]
