Mathura-Delhi Railway Line Disrupted After Goods Train Derails Near Vrindavan

Vrindavan : A goods train derailed near Vrindavan in Mathura, causing significant disruption to the Mathura-Delhi railway route. The derailment, which occurred approximately 800 meters ahead of Vrindavan Road station, has led to a blockade of the track towards Delhi, impacting nearly 15 trains. Preliminary reports suggest that several wagons were damaged when they collided with each other following the derailment. Restoration efforts are currently underway to clear the track and restore normal operations.

This derailment in Mathura is part of a series of recent rail disruptions. On Wednesday evening, a separate derailment occurred in Bihar, where four wagons of a goods train coming from Bhilai derailed between Muzaffarpur and Samastipur. The derailment took place near Narayanpur railway station on the main rail line, compounding the impact on rail services in the region.

These incidents come just two days after a similar derailment in Uttar Pradesh’s Sonbhadra district. On Monday morning, the engine of a goods train derailed due to debris from a nearby hill that had fallen onto the tracks as a result of heavy rains. The train, traveling from Chunar to Chopan, hit the debris near Brahmababa bridge, causing the engine to derail. Rail traffic was disrupted for several hours until the debris was cleared and normal operations resumed.

In all these incidents, no casualties have been reported. Railway officials are actively working to address the disruptions, clear the affected tracks, and minimize the impact on passenger and freight services. The ongoing restoration efforts are crucial in ensuring that rail traffic can return to normal as quickly as possible. The series of derailments highlights the need for continuous monitoring and maintenance of railway infrastructure to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety and reliability of rail transport.
