Lucknow-Bareilly Rohilkhand Express was stationed at platform number 2 of Daliganj station when the driver of Sitapur-Aishbagh passenger jumped the signal and entered the same line. Daliganj is a two-line railway station. The driver’s negligent act could have led to a major train tragedy.
Taking note of the serious lapse on the part of its staff, Railways has suspended the passenger train driver and his assistant along with two loco inspectors. A probe has been ordered. “Daliganj station has manual signalling and loco inspectors should have alerted the driver about the presence of a train on the line,” said North Eastern Railway (NER) PRO Alok Srivastava.
Senior NER officials, including DRM Lucknow Anoop Kumar, visited the site.
The incident happened due to Signal Passing at Danger (SPAD) by the driver. Even when the signal was red, an indication that train should not enter the line, the driver ignored it and took the train on the line where Rohilkhand Express was stationed. The accident could have caused huge damage to the railway property and disrupted movement of trains. In incidents of signal overshooting, trains often derail or their engines are damaged beyond repair, resulting in loss of life and property.
