Windshield blows wagon out of rails

A whirlwind has blown a railway car out of the rails in Switzerland.

The northern side of the Swiss Alps is suffering a lot from the storm that rages across Europe. For example, winter sports enthusiasts are stuck in a gondola ski lift in the Pizol ski area in the Canton of St. Gallen, after fallen trees had fallen on cables.

One of the most important roads in the country, the A1 motorway, had to be completely closed on the Zürich- Bern route north of the capital (Bern) on Wednesday afternoon after cars had been blown down. A wind speed of 195 kilometers per hour was measured in Switzerland.
