Southward trains from Changchun to Dalian in northeast China resumed early Monday after a train derailment that killed six, injured 30 and laid over thousands of passengers Sunday evening.

Thanks to overnight emergency repairs, railway traffic from Changchun to Dalian resumed at 5:05 a.m., said sources with Shenyang Railway Bureau.

Yet repair work is continuing to restore traffic the other way round, they said.

The K127 passenger train from the northwestern city of Xi'an to Dalian in the northeast hit a cargo train at 7:52 p.m. Sunday near Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province. Five cars of the passenger train were derailed.

The Changchun-Dalian railway is the southern part of the landmark electric railway between Harbin and Dalian, China's first electric railway in northeast China operational from 2001.
