BHUBANESWAR: The passengers on board Ahmedabad-Puri Express train on Saturday night had a close shave as at least 22 bogies rolled down backwards for 15 km without engine in Odisha’s Titlagarh, which could have resulted in a major mishap.
“When engine is detached to be attached at the other end, the coaches should be secured with skids at the wheels. In this case, it appears that the skids have either not been placed or placed improperly. Facts will be known after detailed enquiry,” an East Coast Railway Official (ECoR) said.
The engine from Titlgarh travelled to Kesigna and brought the detached coaches at around 12.05 pm following which normal train trafficking on the route resumed.
