On Saturday, passengers aboard the New Jalpaiguri Central Express were met with an unexpected delay during their journey from Balasore to Chennai. According to railway sources, the train was stuck between Soro and Markona stations in Balasore district for approximately four hours due to an incident involving the engine.
The South Eastern Railway issued a bulletin explaining that the train had come to a halt at 2:45pm and was unable to move until 6:23pm. The reason for this delay was due to the engine colliding with an object on the tracks, rendering it immobile. Thankfully, an alternative locomotive was arranged and the train was able to resume its journey at 6:23pm.
Unfortunately, this incident also caused disruptions for other trains in the area. The 12245 Howrah-SMVT Bengaluru Express and the 68051 Baleshwar-Bhadrak MEMU were both halted between Soro and Markona, while the 18045 Shalimar-Hyderabad East Coast Express was stopped at Baleshwar and the 20889 Howrah-Tirupati Express was held at Rupsa.
It was a difficult situation for all involved, but the railway staff worked diligently to resolve the issue and get the New Jalpaiguri Central Express back on track. Passengers were grateful for the timely arrival of the alternative locomotive and were able to continue their journey with minimal delay. The incident serves as a reminder of the dedication and hard work of railway employees in ensuring safe and efficient travel for all passengers.
