All on board were unhurt.Villagers in Kg Pangi customise their motorcycles by attaching rail wheels, allowing them to travel on train tracks when train services are interrupted by floods or landslides.These trolley motorcycles carry passengers and goods, linking villages to schools, markets and medical facilities when rail services are limited or unreliable.The Sabah Railway Department has yet to comment on the incident.
