ROME (AP) - Italian officials say the death toll from a train explosion in Tuscany has risen to 20 after a woman died overnight in the hospital.
The Civil Protection said Friday some 15 injured are still in serious condition.
A train carrying liquefied gas derailed around midnight Monday in the seaside town of Viareggio, setting off a massive explosion that consumed nearby homes.
Viareggio's damaged train station partially reopened Friday. Meanwhile, Italian railways Trenitalia said it had suspended transportation of all rail cars registered with U.S. rail and marine leasing company GATX.
The Vienna-based GATX Rail Europe owns the gas cars involved in the derailment. Italian officials have blamed the disaster on the breakage of a wheel axle of one of the cars.
