The alarm went off at 5:20 p.m. According to the information, no one was injured.
The accident means that there is a complete stop in train traffic between Gothenburg Central and Jonsered. The incident affects all rail traffic on the Gothenburg-Skövde-Stockholm route. According to the Swedish Transport Administration, there is currently no forecast for how long the stop will last.
The salvage service has several units on site.
According to Björn Van der Kaay, an alarm and control operator at the Greater Gothenburg rescue service, it is a bottom valve on a freight car inside the sorting yard in Sävenäs that is leaking and causing LPG to leak.
– Based on the information I have received from the site, it should be a minor leak, says Björn Van der Kaay.
For security reasons, a large area has been cordoned off.
Train traffic is significantly affected and affects passenger traffic and train traffic between Gothenburg and Stockholm.
A person sitting on the train from Stockholm writes in an email to GP shortly after 6pm:
“We should have arrived in Gothenburg at 17:35. We just left Floda where we stood still for 30 minutes. We now have the green light to drive to Lerum. It is not clear what happens next. “
