Swiss train has derailed today around 13:00 hrs LT on the Albula line between Tiefencastel and Solis.
Train operated by the Rhatische Bahn.
One coach dived into the deep,another sideways on the track.
Locomotive still on the track.
Probably several wounded people.
Approximately 200 people on the train in total.
Cause of mishap heavy rain causing sliding mud.
Information on internet as yet scarce.
I have been on that train a couple of weeks ago.
Track in question is narrow gauge.

Note: link to Swiss paper Blick deleted because of doubtful contents.
