It was Norrhälsinge rescue service that was tasked with evacuating train passengers and crew. The accident happened about a kilometre from the nearest road, so the emergency services had to use a tracked vehicle and a quad bike.
The last part of the road is heavily flooded, but some of the passengers chose to wade across the water. The last to be evacuated were the train crew.
Martin Eriksson sees a risk that the wagons can slide down the slope even after the evacuation.
"If the embankment disappears even more, it could happen," he says.
