COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A train traveling along Norway’s northern coast with up to 70 people on board derailed Thursday, police said, but there was no immediate word of casualties.
The Arctic Circle Express was on its way to the northern city of Bodoe. Norwegian news agency NTB, citing the Joint Rescue Coordination Center for Northern Norway, said there were “between 50 and 70 people on board the train.”
Photos on Norwegian media showed the locomotive and what appeared to be at least two passenger cars. The derailment took place near Bodoe, just north of the Arctic Circle.
Police said the train, which consisted of five wagons and one locomotive, was traveling from Trondheim to Bodoe. First responders responded to the scene, police said in a statement.
