A routine day turned tragic on the railway lines of Bihar’s Katihar district when a railway trolley collided head-on with the speeding 15910 Avadh Assam Express, leaving one railway worker dead and three others critically injured.
The collision took place between Kadha Gola and Semapur, near Maharani village, on the Barauni-Katihar down line, an otherwise quiet stretch that fell into chaos in seconds. The crash, under the Sonpur Railway Division, has raised serious questions about track safety and coordination.
Eyewitnesses say the impact was deafening, with the mangled remains of the trolley thrown aside as railway staff rushed to help their injured colleagues.
Railway officials quickly dispatched a medical team from Katihar, racing against time to provide emergency aid. As the investigation unfolds, the incident stands as a stark reminder of the risks faced by railway workers every day behind the scenes of India’s vast rail network.
