Kolkata Local - আমি তোমাকে ভালবাসি

From Kanpur to Anand Vihar, the Anand Vihar Terminal Express caused a commotion on Sunday when the engine got detached from the compartments. After the coupling disconnected, the engine ran about five to six hundred meters ahead from the compartments. The driver tried to reverse and reconnect the engine but was unsuccessful. It took around an hour and a half for the employees from Farrukhabad station to arrive before the train could depart. The Anand Vihar Terminal Express left from platform number two at the scheduled time of 11:30 AM on Sunday. When the train reached in front of Dhilawal village on the Farrukhabad-Shikohabad rail route, about five kilometers away, the coupling disconnected, causing the engine to run off. People working in the fields nearby and residents of Dhilawal village started shouting. The engine stopped near Shrimad Dwarkapuri Halt approximately five to six hundred meters ahead. By the time the driver brought back the engine, the compartments had crossed Bagharnala Bridge. The driver and guard tried to couple it back but were unsuccessful. The incident was reported at Farrukhabad station at 12:10 PM. Employees were sent from here to assist. The train was restarted at 12:45 PM, nearly half an hour later. The train remained stationed at the site for almost an hour and a half. The Farrukhabad-Shikohabad rail route has many twists and turns which is why the train is brought to a slow speed. Villagers say that if the train was at speed and the engine detached suddenly from the compartments, it could have been an accident. Due to the slow speed, a disaster was averted. This train arrives from Kanpur. Its engine is opened and connected towards the back. The engine was connected to the train standing at platform two, but there was a mistake in coupling. This is why the coupling disconnected about five kilometers ahead. The driver of the Anand Vihar Express reported at 12:20 PM that there was a coupling issue. He mentioned that it took time to fix. There is no information on the coupling being opened or broken. - Yogendra Shakya, Station Master, Farrukhabad
