The photo look very terrible, but subway rolling stock usually very light and more fragile than heavy railway train.
said:-- An operational failure at a metro loop line in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality left four injured, according to the city's rail transit company.
The failure was caused by a breakdown along two stops of the line after an interruption to the subway's protective doors.
The four injured -- one passenger and three staff members -- have been sent to hospital. The remaining 30 passengers on board were evacuated.
The Chongqing Rail Transit Loop Line was put into use on Dec. 28, 2018, and its construction began in 2013.

The driver of a subway train in southwestern China was killed and three other people were injured when it smashed into protective barrier doors on Tuesday night, less than two weeks after the metro rail line opened.
Station staff on the Chongqing rail transit loop line evacuated 30 passengers and took one passenger, who sustained a slight hand injury, and three injured rail staff, including the driver, to hospital.
The train driver later died in hospital.
The front of the train was damaged and the first compartment offset, but not derailed, when it collided with the protective doors protruding on to the track area between two stations, according to the Chongqing Morning Post.
Chongqing’s railway transit company said three stations along the affected 4km (2.4 miles) route were out of service, while the rest of the metro loop line was still in operation.
The 34km northeastern section of the Chongqing rail line opened on December 28, 2018 and is still under trial operation.
