Kolkata-Sairang Express Derailment: Loco Pilot's Chilling Video Raises Suspicions of Brake Failure
Guwahati, November 11: A disturbing video reportedly recorded inside the locomotive of the Kolkata-Sairang Express has surfaced, capturing the terrifying moments before the train derailed at Digaru railway station near Guwahati, Assam, on Wednesday morning.
In the footage, the loco pilot is heard warning that the railway signal was red and the emergency braking system was not responding despite being activated. Moments later, the locomotive reportedly struck barricades before derailing with five coaches at approximately 6:54 am.
According to Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), the Mizoram-bound train (No. 13125) was being received at Digaru station to allow another train to pass when its driver was unable to control the speed. Railway authorities confirmed that all passengers were safe, although separate reports indicated that some passengers sustained minor injuries.
The incident disrupted railway operations, prompting immediate rescue and restoration efforts. The footage has raised serious questions about a possible braking system malfunction, although the exact cause of the derailment remains unconfirmed.
