A big train accident in Bihar was narrowly avoided. The incident took place between Mokama and Hathidah stations at Tal Junction on Saturday evening.
A major mishap was narrowly averted in Bihar with a buffalo coming under the Brahmaputra Mail train heading from Kamakhya to Delhi at Tal Junction. The incident led to engine trouble and a delay of over three hours.
Later, another engine was added to the train and it was finally moved from Tal Junction. This caused delays for other trains like the Tata-Ara Superfast and a freight train, which had to stop at different stations.
Passengers faced inconvenience due to the incident, with railway staff working hard to remove the buffalo from the tracks. The emergency brakes were applied by the driver, preventing a major catastrophe.
