(ANSA) - Bari, December 19 - A local train derailed in
Puglia Tuesday but no one was hurt, sources said.
The ATR 200 train, operated by the Ferrovie del Sud-Est (FSE)
company, left the tracks at Castellana Grotte on the
Bari-Putignano line.
The train's engine derailed but it was travelling below the
50 km/h limit, sources said.
The cause of the accident has yet to be established, sources
said.
Inspectors from the FSE and technical experts are at the
scene.
"No passenger or member of staff was hurt," the FSE said in a
statement.
The stretch of track has been closed until Friday, Italian
rail company Ferrovire dello Stato (FS) said in another
statement.
The track affected lies between Putignano and Castellana
Grotte.
A bus service will be laid on as an alternative to the rail
route, it said.
