ANKARA, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- A high-speed train derailed in western Turkey on Friday, with no casualty reports yet, the private TV channel Haber Turk reported.

    Four cars of the train, which was heading to Turkey's western Eskisehir Province from the Turkish capital Ankara, derailed near Eskisehir, according to the report.

    There were 245 passengers on the train and ambulances were dispatched to the site, according to the semi-official Anatolia news agency, which said two cars of the train derailed.
