Ofotbanen is now closed indefinitely. – There is a fully loaded ore train on its way to Narvik. There are about 10–12 wagons that have derailed. There is approximately 100 tonnes of ore in each of those wagons, so it is an extensive cleaning job, says press officer Harry Korslund in Bane Nor. – What are the consequences of this derailment? – It is a little too early to say anything about how long-lasting the consequences will be, but the derailment will have consequences for passenger traffic, ore traffic and other goods traffic on the Ofot line in the future. The ore train belongs to the Swedish company LKAB.
