thanks for th enitice.
According to the article, the derailment ocurred near the town of Fiesch. That is a pretty benign stretch of track as I recall, although I haven't ridden east of Betten for a few years. At least it wasn't high on a bridge or trestle.
Here's another news report on the subject.
