A locomotive derailed on a construction site in the canton of Vaud on the Vallorbe-Lausanne line between La Sarraz and Cossonay-Penthalaz on Wednesday morning. No one was injured, as an SBB spokeswoman told the Keystone-SDA news agency on request.
Due to the derailment, the railroad line was completely interrupted. According to the SBB spokeswoman, it was initially unclear how long the interruption would last. "The locomotive simply has to be put back on the rails", she said.
Rail lines R3 and R4 are affected by the interruption, as SBB announced on its website. Replacement buses have been organized.
