Tragic Train Mishap as Tracks Washed Away in Rising Waters

A shocking incident unfolded when a speeding passenger train derailed and plunged into floodwaters after the railway tracks were found floating under the force of the current. The driver reportedly received no advance warning about the track’s submerged condition, leaving little time to react. Within moments, the engine and several coaches were engulfed by water, triggering panic among passengers and railway authorities alike.

According to initial reports, heavy rainfall in the region caused nearby rivers to overflow, flooding railway sections that had already been declared high-risk zones. Despite repeated alerts issued earlier by local monitoring teams, the communication system allegedly failed to warn the approaching train in time.

How the Disaster Unfolded

Witnesses said that water levels near the railway bridge had been rising for several hours. However, the train continued at a routine speed, unaware that the tracks had been loosened and partially lifted by the strong current. As the train neared the submerged stretch, the driver reportedly noticed the water only seconds before impact. Despite applying the emergency brakes, the engine and a few compartments were pulled down by the water’s force.

Survivors described terrifying scenes as passengers screamed for help and tried to escape through broken windows. “The coach filled with water in seconds,” said one passenger who managed to swim to safety.
