European Railroad Discussion > Fatal Railway Accident in Norway

FROM VG NEWS/Norway
One person has died in connection with the accident between Bjerka and Mo i Rana. In addition, just under ten people have been followed up by health personnel.
SJ, which runs Nordlandsbanen, confirms that one of their employees died. This was the train driver.
 Everything indicates that there has been a landslide, and then the train has driven into the masses of rock on the tracks, says police task leader Arild Woldmo to VG.

A sad day for Norwegian rail.

RIP Driver...:(:(:(

Very sad.  Tusen takk for bringing this incident to our attention, Sven.

How awful, thoughts go out to those involved.

Very sad indeed. What is the number of the locomotive? The frame looks bent so my guess is this unit will be scrapped.
