Train passengers stuck on wrecked train in 22 minus degrees in Nattavaara

It is a main transformer that has broken, which meant that the train could not continue from Nattavaara during Friday night.

Due to the chilly weather, Norrtåg was in a hurry to bring the passengers into the heat. It was decided that a train on its way to Kiruna would evacuate them from the broken train. Buses and taxis will take travelers to the last part of Gällivare.

- We have focused on getting passengers in the heat quickly. That was the most important thing for us. That's why we quickly decided that the train from Gällivare would pick up passengers, says Tor Kangas, business developer at Vy-trains.
