Six coaches, including the engine, of train 13125 left the rails at Digaru near Guwahati on Wednesday morning; the railway says the loco pilot could not control the train's speed.

A train accident occurred on Wednesday morning at Digaru railway station, near Guwahati in Assam's Kamrup (Metro) district. Six coaches, including the engine, of the Kolkata-Sairang Express (train number 13125) derailed.

According to Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), the cause of the accident was that the loco pilot could not control the speed of the train.

Kapinjal Kishore Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of NFR, said: "At around 6.54 am on Wednesday, train number 13125 Kolkata-Sairang Express was being taken onto the loop line at Digaru railway station to give precedence to another train. During this, the loco pilot could not control the speed of the train, due to which the engine and 5 coaches (6 coaches in all) derailed."

On receiving news of the accident, teams of the railway and the local administration began relief and rescue work. Senior railway officials and the Accident Relief Train (ART) have also reached the spot.

Work is under way at speed to restore the track and to help passengers. Detailed information on whether anyone was hurt is still awaited.
