== Details ==
Freight train No. 50325 from Trecate to Gricignano, hauled by Class E655 locomotive E 655 175 with 14 bogie tank wagons was derailed at Viareggio at 23:48 local time (21:48 UTC) on 29 June 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=INVESTIGATION NOTIFICATION )〕 Of the 14 wagons, the first wagon was registered by Polskie Koleje Państwowe, the other 13 wagons by Deutsche Bahn (DB) The first DB-registered wagon, No. 338078182106, which was owned by GATX Rail Austria GmbH derailed on plain track in Viareggio station. The wagon hit the platform of the station and overturned to the left. The next four wagons also overturned and the two following were derailed but remained upright. The last seven wagons were not derailed, remaining intact on the track.〔 The derailed wagons crashed into houses alongside the railway line.〔
Some of the wagons were owned by KVG Kesselwagen, a division of GATX and leased to ExxonMobil and ERG (the owners of the oil refinery where the train left), were reported to have been carrying Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Two of these exploded and caught fire.〔 Seven people were reported to have been killed when a house collapsed. An eighth person who was killed was reported to have been riding a scooter on a road adjoining the railway.〔 A child was found carbonised in a car in front of the house where he lived with his parents. It is speculated that his parents put him in the car to save him and then returned to the house to save other two children.
The two members of the train crew suffered minor injuries in the accident. A large area of Viareggio was damaged in the subsequent fires caused by the wagons carrying LPG exploding.〔 Twenty-six people were reported to have been injured in the accident.〔 The accident is the worst rail accident in Italy since the collision between two trains in Murazze di Vado near Bologna on 15 April 1978, which killed 48 people. It was reported that a whole street had been destroyed in the explosion and fire.
