In an unusual incident, the Kamrup Express, traveling from Dibrugarh in Assam to Howrah in West Bengal, lost its engine a few kilometers after departing from Dibrugarh Railway Station on Tuesday night.
Officials from the North East Frontier Railway confirmed that the train's engine became uncoupled at around 8:30 PM, just after starting its journey.
The Chief Public Relation Officer (CPRO), Sabyasachi De, stated, "The situation was effectively managed by the loco pilots and technicians. It was a technology default, and the issue was controlled without any problems. The train resumed its journey and reached its destination on Wednesday morning."
The situation returned to normal within an hour, with the engine reattached by 9:30 PM. There were no injuries or significant delays reported.
A similar incident occurred recently on July 6, when coaches of the Panchvati Express decoupled near Kasara station while en route to Mumbai.
The CPRO reported that the coaches detached at 8:40 AM but were successfully recoupled by 9:02 AM. After confirming passenger safety, the train resumed its journey by 9:15 AM.
"The train was detained for nearly 35 minutes, and there was no damage or injury to anyone," railway officers stated. "Trains are now running smoothly on the affected line."
