Train services on the Dhaka-Chittagong route resumed after a nine-hour
halt due to derailment of the engine and two vans of a container train
in Kasba of Brahmanbaria on Thursday.
Rail operations resumed only minutes before the noon, Assistant Station Master of Brahmanbaria Shoyeb Ahmed told bdnews24.com.
The Kasba derailment took place in less than 24 hours of restoration of rail link with Chittagong after a derailment in Feni, snapping the link again.
Earlier, another Assistant Station Master at Brahmanbaria, Moinul Islam, told bdnews24.com, "The Dhaka-bound train from Chittagong derailed around 3am when it neared Kasba station, snapping rail link of Chittagong with Dhaka and Sylhet."
He added that a rescue train from Akhaura was at work to remove the derailed engine and the vans.
Dhaka-bound Turna Nishita and Dhaka Mail were stuck midway as the lines were closed since dawn.
Rail link of Chittagong and the rest of the country was snapped on Wednesday dawn also after a similar accident near Feni. A container train had derailed and blocked the lines hampering train operations.
