BAHRAICH: Fifteen wagons of a goods train carrying fuel derailed and burst into flames on December 7 in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district between Jarwal and Saryu railway stations, disrupting traffic on the Lucknow-Gorakhpur route.

"Sixteen wagons of the train derailed and 15 of them caught fire," Public Relation Officer of Northern Railway, Alok Srivastava said. However, there were no casualties.

Vikas Singh, a railway official said, "The train's driver, who was injured while trying to escape, had to be rushed to a hospital in an ambulance." The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. "Railway employees detached 31 other wagons of the train and fire fighters fought to control the blaze for 7 to 8 hours," he said.

"Consequently, the route of 11 trains on the down line and 14 on the up line have been changed. Three others have been cancelled. Also, 150 metres of rail track on the down line and 50 metres on the up line has been destroyed due to the fire," added Srivastava.

General Manager of north-eastern railway B Ramachandran has ordered an enquiry and rail traffic on the route is to be restored by the evening. "The loss was estimated to be in crores of rupees," Srivastava stated.
