NEW DELHI: A wagon of a goods train derailed near Rangapani station in West Bengal's New Jalpaiguri Rail Division on Wednesday, according to a senior official from the North-East Frontier Railway (NFR).
The incident occurred at 11:45 am when an empty petroleum wagon jumped the tracks while heading for Rangapani siding. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported.
NFR CPRO Sabyasachi De stated, "There was no disruption in railway traffic movement in the region."
Railway personnel promptly cleared the tracks by hauling the derailed wagon away.
The location of the derailment is close to the site where three coaches of the Sealdah-bound Kanchanjungha Express derailed on June 17 after being hit by a goods train, resulting in 10 fatalities.
