AUTHORITIES IN SWITZERLAND have said that around 30 people have been injured in a train collision in the Swiss Alps.
Before midday today, a train carrying 100 passengers collided with five rail cars at a station in Andermatt, a mountain town in the canton of Uri.
Authorities in Uri released a statement explaining how the incident occurred.
“…The locomotive was to be routed from the rear end (driving direction of the upper forest) to the front end of the train (direction of travel Oberalppass) via a parallel track.”
Police and medical teams were rushed to the scene of the accident, but authorities said that nobody has life-threatening injuries. A spokeswoman for the Uri cantonal police said she did not have any immediate information about the material damage.
Spokesman Jan Baerwalde of train service operator Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn said authorities were investigating the cause of the crash.

I only know its autumn as the younger daughter has changed into the onesie she lives in for the autumn winter months . It’s a bright blue onesie and she looks like a tall mutant smurf. I was desperate to send in her picture but she threatened to move back home permanently if I did so couldn’t take the chance . Bought as a joke for her a couple of years ago and I guess the joke is firmly on me as she lives in it the minute she gets home in the evenings lol
Kicking leaves as you walk and the sound of crunching on the frost covered grass
Lovely, lovely photies :-)
Beautiful pictures that make me feel lucky to live in such an amazingly picturesque country!
I was fortunate enough to be driving through new hampshire towards maine a couple of years ago. Any bit of a hill on the highway gave you views of endless dappled forests. Genuinely amazing stuff. If you ever get the chance….
100 time better photos than the one in art galleries which they sellin for millions of dollars ….
These are so true to our everyday experiences.
Great photos. Nice to see something nice for a change!
I’m still trying to pretend it’s summer!

Shroom season! Yay!
I wish I could tell the edible ones cos we have some huge ones in the fields round us.
