Talk:Yanga derailment

Coordinates
The coordinates in this article seem to be wrong. The accident is said to have occurred at Yanga station between Bilinga and Tchitondi (link from fr-wiki). The station is at -4.55653°N, 12.19373°W (Google Maps satellite image of the area is of low quality, as of now, but the station is marked on OpenStreetMap, and much better sat images are available in ArcGIS World Map here). However, the coordinates that currently appear in the article place the accident inside the city of Pointe Noire, some 44 km west-south-west from Yanga station, at a location where no railway is even present.

The coordinates have been added back then in 2010. any chance you can recall where the coordinates have come from?

 * I've hidden the coords for now. Better not to display if it is so far out. Mjroots (talk) 16:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
