A regional train on Thursday hit a
landslide that had engulfed the railway track near Spoleto in
Umbria after recent torrential rain.
The engine and six carriages came off the track but one of the
70 passengers were hurt.
The train, on the Falconara-Orte line, was travelling from Rome
to Foligno.
Traffic has been suspended along the line, which is a
single-track stretch.
The incident took place between Terni and Giuncano outside
Spoleto.
The passengers were moved into one of the carriages that did not
leave the track and taken back to Terni station by the end
locomotive.
Emergency teams and fire fighters were at the scene.
