According to police, a locomotive and five train carriages of the Arctic Circle Express went off the tracks. Witnesses and initial police assessments suggested a rock slide caused the derailment.
A passenger train running along Norway’s northern coast carrying 50 to 70 people derailed on Thursday, police and train operator SJ said.
Initial reports suggested there were no serious injuries.
“We are working on the derailment of a train,” the Joint Rescue Coordination Center of Northern Norway said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, adding that 50 to 70 people were onboard and the “extent of the damage” was unclear.
