A BRITISH man is fighting for his life in intensive care after a train carrying dozens of tourists in Argentina was derailed.<\/p>\n
The vintage steam train popular with tourists crashed in a mountain range on Saturday with 53 people on board.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
The Brit was taken to a hospital in Ingeniero Jacobacci where he was treated for minor injuries before he was transferred elsewhere for more serious care.<\/p>\n
By Sunday morning his condition had worsened significantly, according to local reports.<\/p>\n
He was admitted to intensive care with a cardiac arrhythmia; an irregular heartbeat. <\/p>\n
Four other tourists from the group were taken to different hospitals near the Rio Negro province after the horror crash.<\/p>\n
The accident apparently happened after the train tracks gave way into the ground in an area currently experiencing strong winds.<\/p>\n It is reportedly not the first time the well known La Trochita railway line has been involved in an accident.<\/p>\n Last September, another train service provided by the same company also derailed.<\/p>\n The accident on Saturday happened around four miles from Rio Chico.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Usually the La Trochita train would take passengers between the Ingeniero Jacobacci and Ojos de Agua stations, but the tourist group – mostly American – had hired a special service to \u00d1orquinco.<\/p>\n The attraction involves tour guides who tell tourists about the history of the train.<\/p>\n There is often also a musician making their way through the carriages.<\/p>\n After the other train derailed last year, the service was suspended for over two weeks while the route was inspected and repaired.<\/p>\n<\/picture>STORM IN A TEACUP <\/span><\/p>\n
