Surat: In another alleged attempt to derail trains in the country, fish plates and keys on the railway tracks were found removed near Surat in Gujarat, official said on Saturday. The incident could have led to a major rail derailment, officials claimed. The removed plates were found near Kosamba Junction railway station in Surat.
Those were spotted when a trackman went to inspect the track around 5 am. The incident was reported to the station master and RPF (Railway Protection Force). Later, the track was promptly repaired, ensuring that train operations were not disrupted.
Railways claimed that the timely information prevented train movement on the track. “Some unknown person opened the fish plate and some keys from the UP line track and put them on the same track near Kim railway station after which the train movement was stopped. Soon the train service started on the line,” Western Railway, Vadodara Division said, as quoted by the ANI.
On Friday, a similar incident had happened when the loco pilot of train number 12091, traveling from Bilaspur Road towards Rudrapur in Uttarakhand, spotted an iron rod on the tracks. The driver applied the emergency brakes, causing the train to halt to avoid a potential disaster. The crew removed the pole and resumed the journey.
