Kesinga: Another major railway accident was averted in Odisha on Thursday when several wagons of a goods train delinked from the engine at Kesinga railway station in Odisha’s Kalahandi district and ran for about 30 meters.
According to reports, the freight train transporting aluminum from Damanjodi was moving toward Angul. Even after the detachment of the rakes, the engineless section of the train kept on running on the track.
When the loco pilot realised the graveness of the situation, he stopped the train and informed the concerned Railway authorities.
Soon, a team of experts from the Railways arrived at the spot and started restoration work.
It is worth mentioning here that a horrific train accident involving Coromandel Express, SMVP-Howrah Superfast Express, and a goods train at Bahanaga in Balasore on June 2 claimed at least 289 lives and left hundreds injured.
