Rail traffic between Arth-Goldau and Bellinzona is restricted.
The reason for this is a derailment of a freight train, the SBB announced.
Operations will remain suspended at least until the close of business on Thursday.
According to current knowledge, no one was injured, according to the SBB. Further details are not known at the moment. Until further notice, passenger trains between German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino will be diverted via the Gotthard panorama route. This increases travel times by around an hour. According to the SBB, train cancellations are also possible.
According to an SBB media spokeswoman, a freight car derailed at the multifunction point in Faido. The multifunction station is one of two emergency stops that the tunnel has. The trains can also switch from one tunnel tube to the other there. In addition, the multifunction stations contain systems for the operation and maintenance of the tunnel.
According to the SBB, what led to the derailment of the car in the tunnel is just as unknown as the exact extent of the damage. Experts will now examine the damage and check for possible damage to the roadway and catenary.
