Norwegian train kills 17 reindeer in Arctic

COPENHAGEN -- A Norwegian train smashed into a heard of reindeer in the country's Arctic region Wednesday, killing 17 animals days after similar incidents led to the death of more than 100 reindeer.

Thor Braekkan of Norwegian rail operator Bane NOR said the latest collision occurred 20 kilometres (12.4 miles) south of where some 65 reindeer were mown down Saturday. The company blamed the earlier crash on a lack of communication with freight train drivers.

Jonas Paulsen, an employee with Bane NOR whose job includes cleaning up after animal collisions, said the reindeer stand little chance.

"The first thing we meet can be decapitated heads and severed limbs," he told Norwegian broadcaster NRK.

The speed at which trains move was immediately reduced along a 32-kilometre (20-mile) stretch of Norway's longest railroad between Trondheim, central Norway, and Bodo, just north of the Arctic Circle. Previously the speed was reduced along a 2-kilometre (1.2-mile) stretch, Braekkan said.

The cause of Wednesday's collision was not immediately known. However, the state-owned company has said it earlier had failed to inform train drivers about the presence of the animals on the tracks and hence the need to reduce speed. Reindeer have been hit eight times between Nov. 22 and 25, resulting in the death of 110 animals.

Since 2013, a total of 3,372 reindeer, sheep and moose have been killed along the 729-kilometre (453-mile) railroad line, according to NRK.
