Five workers were injured when a fire broke out in a tunnel on the Naples-Salerno railway line late on Thursday, rail company Ferrovie dello Stato said on Friday. The blaze between Nocera Inferiore and Salerno may have been caused by the explosion of a gas cylinder during maintenance work. One of the workers is seriously injured, with burns to the hands and face, although not in a life-threatening condition, sources said.
Rail traffic on the line was suspended.
