Cargo train drives onto bridge to avoid its collapse in floods (1/3)

A cargo train helps prevent a bridge from collapsing due to a river's rising water levels in southwest China’s Sichuan Province on August 17. The trains, weighing 8100 tons, stabilized the Fujiang bridge by increasing its weight. Torrential rain in the province has contributed to damaging floods and landslides. (Photo/VCG)
