Ultrasonic rail testing machines are limited in number and hence main lines could be regularly tested and not the other lines. The same machine shall be diverted to the affected route from other route for a while. A few days after the business will be as usual. A concrete plan of frequent rail testing and procurement of enough machines could give an assurance that things are going to change in right earnest.
Maintenance of coaches of 22686 at UMB is a part of regular job of...
more... maintenence group. Had the maintenance of INDB-PNBE Exp done at JHS after receiving complaints from paxs, the accident would not have happened. Unusually large number of casualties in S1 (all but 1 pax as reported) on a derailment on flat surface, give further strength to suspicion that there was really something wrong with the coach. If such negligenceis a regular practice, accidents/deaths shall happen even with LHB coaches.
