PETALING JAYA: An empty six-car KTM Komuter train overshot the end of a track at the Butterworth station.
However, passenger services are continuing via alternative platforms, said Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB).
“No injuries or loss of life were reported,” it said in a statement.
KTMB said its technical team arrived on site shortly after the incident at Platform 4 at 6.01am yesterday.
Passenger services at Butterworth remain in operation, with some platform changes.
“All passenger trains at Butterworth are operating as usual via Platforms 1 and 2, including ETS and KTM Komuter Utara services.
“Platforms 3 and 4 are temporarily closed to facilitate repairs and safety inspections,” the statement said.
KTMB added that an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the incident.
On Thursday evening, a KTMB-operated cargo locomotive that runs on diesel parked near Tasek, Ipoh, caught fire.
A Facebook post by the Ipoh fire station estimated that 20% of the locomotive was destroyed in the incident, which did not cause any injuries.
