Flooding Disrupts Hua Ngiw Railway Station in Nakhon Sawan
Heavy rainfall has caused flooding at Hua Ngiw Railway Station in Nakhon Sawan, temporarily halting train services and restricting access to the area.
Following two days of continuous heavy rainfall, the Hua Ngiw Railway Station in Phayuha Khiri District, Nakhon Sawan, experienced significant flooding starting September 26, 2026. According to Khaosod Online, the rising water levels initially forced the State Railway of Thailand to suspend train operations through the area as water covered the tracks by 5 to 15 centimeters.
As of September 27, the situation at the station itself has improved, and train services have resumed. However, the surrounding infrastructure remains severely impacted. The access road leading to the station is currently submerged under waist-deep water for a stretch of approximately 500 meters. Authorities have closed this road to all vehicle traffic to ensure public safety. The flooding has also affected approximately 60 local households, many of whom remain unable to return to their homes.
For travelers and residents, while rail transit is operational, local access to the station remains hazardous and restricted. It is advised to check with local authorities or the State Railway of Thailand before planning travel through this region. While water levels at the station have receded, the persistence of intermittent rain means conditions could change. Further updates regarding the reopening of the access road and the status of displaced residents are pending.
