Goods wagon derails, delays 9 Bengaluru-Mysuru trains

BENGALURU: Nine trains between Bengaluru and Mysuru were delayed after an empty goods train derailed on Friday near Krishnadevaraya halt railway station in Attiguppe. No casualties or injuries were reported.
SWR officials said four wheels of an empty material train, which had unloaded rail panels at Kengeri, derailed on the Nayandahalli-KSR Bengaluru City section at 3.10pm.
Of the nine trains delayed, seven were coming from Mysuru towards Bengaluru and two from Bengaluru to Mysuru.
Services were permitted on only one of the two lines. “Trains running from Nayandahalli towards KSR Bengaluru experienced minor delays as they were operated through a single line,” said an SWR official.
“The track has been examined and declared fit. An inquiry has been ordered,” said an official.
