THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Two coaches of the Chennai-Mangalore Superfast Express derailed near Shoranur in Kerala on Tuesday morning, disrupting rail traffic.
Railway sources said there have been no casualties.
The mishap occurred around 6.30 AM near Shoranur station.
Two bogies -- a luggage-cum-brake van and parcel van -- at the back of the engine derailed. One of the derailed bogies hit an electrical post, near the monitor, damaging it.
The train services and products on three directions-- Thiruvananthapuram, Mangaluru and Palakkad -- had been affected. However, services and products thru a bypass course between Thrissur and Palakkad have no longer been hit.
Efforts are on to revive train services and products as early as conceivable, the sources added.
