I will say - By and Large, this could have been the fastest Disaster Recovery. Also to mention a major reason to resume operations, was the separated UP, DN lines. Else impact would have been more, leading to diversion, cancellation & re-sceduling

I am surprised as to how the wagons climbed. Dont they have the anticlimbing features enabled couplers, though they are not CBC.

VEry bad magnitude.....Guess, the LP may have been overspeeding, compared to the PSR on the curve

Seems that CBC couplers helped a lot in minimizing the magnitude of the derailment, if the rake would be a screw coupled one then wagons must be crushed into each other badly!

Feel sad to see so much of destruction and also inconvenience caused to passengers travelling by mail/express trains. Btw great coverage with nice captions too.

If I can recall the last time IRFCA covered a mishap was when there a derailment in the Thull Ghats of GKP Express and no points for guessing who covered it. Brilliant work folks yet again
