Kolkata, Sep 24
Six wagons of an empty goods train derailed near New Maynaguri station in West Bengal's Alipurduar district on Tuesday morning.
No casualties were reported during the incident.
After the derailment, no disruption in railway services was reported.
While the restoration work was on, the trains, which were supposed to move by the same lines, have been diverted to alternate routes.
As the speed of the goods train was too slow when the incident occurred, it had no major impact, said eye-witnesses.
Two electrical posts and the water pipeline at the station were smashed after being hit by the derailed wagons.
On receiving information, senior railway officials immediately rushed to the spot.
Railways sources said that the cause of the derailment was yet to be ascertained and a thorough investigation into the matter has already started.
