What Happened to Odisha Train?
When the Coromandel Express got off track and some of its cars fell on the goods train, it was stopped in a loop line next to the tracks it was going over. At least 261 people died in the accident on Friday night, and more than 900 were hurt. It was one of the worst train accidents in the country.
According to records, the train crash was the fourth bloodiest in India. It happened near the Bahanaga Bazar station in Balasore district, which is about 250 km south of Kolkata and 170 km north of Bhubaneswar. The Railway Ministry has ordered an investigation into what happened.
Initial investigations have shown that the Coromandel Express train that caused a terrible rail accident in Odisha on Friday went on the loop line instead of the main line and crashed into a goods train that was parked there just before the Bahanagar Bazar stop. The coaches of the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express flipped over when they hit the scattered coaches of the Coromandel Express on the next track. The Coromandel Express was going 128 km per hour, while the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express was going 116 km per hour.

Sources for the news service PTI say that the report has been sent to the Railway Board. In a station area, like the Bahanagar Bazar station, the Indian Railways build loop lines to make room for more trains and make things run more smoothly. Most loop lines are 750 meters long so that a full-length goods train with multiple engines can fit on them.
