Kanpur: The broken up line between Kanpur Central and Rooma railway stations in Maharajpur house of Kanpur was restored by way of 5.34am on Sunday, finishing a 29-hour spell of inconvenience on the Howrah-Delhi course that is among the nation’s busiest.
Derailment of 12 coaches of the 12303 Howrah-Delhi Poorva Express early on Saturday had broken greater than 500 metres of tracks and uprooted just about part a dozen overhead electrical energy poles, besides also partly affecting the down line. But, a contingent of technical workforce from the railways restored the course by way of Sunday morning, officials said. Machines were also pressed into service to supplement efforts of staff and railway engineers.
“Cancelled and diverted trains are again on course. The first to cross in the course of the twist of fate web page was a items teach. Later, Prayagraj Express and Brahmaputra Mail also took the restored course and reached Kanpur Central earlier than heading for its onward journey,” said Sunil Gupta, PRO of North Central Railway.
Curious onlookers thronged the twist of fate web page as linesmen shovelled away stones to lay new concrete sleepers and improve tracks. “We have placed new sleepers on a just about 500-metre stretch of the up line. Half a dozen power poles, which have been flattened, were erected once more,” said a linesman.
The 12.54am twist of fate on Saturday had held up traffic on both up and down traces for seven hours. The first passenger teach to cross in the course of the down line was Vikramshila Express. A items teach had preceded it to test the signalling system.
Several trains had had to be halted at Kanpur Central and Allahabad stations soon after the derailment.
