Alipurduar (West Bengal), Around 12 bogies of a freight train, carrying coal, derailed in West Bengal's Alipurduar town on Tuesday.
No casualties have, however, been reported into the incident. The wreckage occurred at around 2 in the morning, when the freight train, plying from Goalpara district in Assam to Punjab, derailed in West Bengal.
The freight train, loaded with coal, brought a lot of curious onlookers at the site of the accident.
"At around 2, we heard a loud sound near the railway tracks. We came out of our house and saw that the train got derailed. Heaps of coal fell on the railway tracks. No casualties were reported as nobody was around," said Monitosh Saha, an eyewitness.
The rescue operations were employed in clearing coal from the railway tracks to help resume traffic. Electronic devices such as gas cutters were used to remove the derailed bogies from the tracks. (ANI)
