Cars and houses are ablaze near Viareggio’s railway station, on Tuesday. A freight train derailed in the middle of the night in northern Italy, setting off an explosion and a fire that killed 16 people and sent 50 others to the hospital, many with severe burns, officials said, on Tuesday. The 14-car train was traveling from the northern city of La Spezia to Pisa when a rear car plowed into a residential neighborhood beside the train station in the Tuscan seaside town of Viareggio just before midnight, on Monday.
