If the train was going at moderate speeds, ( may be 40-70 kmph,) it would not have been very dangerous. Our trains now use air brakes. Because of this, whenever there is a train parting, brakes are automatically applied due to loss of brake pressure, and the LP can notice it too without actually looking back at the train. Unless the train was going at a high speed on a curve or if the parting is accompanied by a jolt, rake parting, in most cases will not result in a derailment. Any train that may be following the parted rake poses more danger than the rake parting itself. Thank god, there was no such thing in this case.
