(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 2 - Passengers on the Circumvesuviana railway in the province of Naples got a nasty scare on Friday when a train hit a fridge that had been dumped on the tracks in the town of Pompei, the home of the famous Pompeii archaeological site.
    The locomotive was slightly damaged but no one was hurt.
    A bath tub was dumped on the tracks in the same area on February 20.
    "It is not an act of vandalism or a prank," said Umberto De Gregorio, the head of Ente Autonomo Volturno, the local public transport company.
    "They are criminals, saboteurs, terrorists". (ANSA).
