A year has passed, since the King of SER got toppled.
A year has passed, since innocent lives were lost...
A year has passed, since a normal station was forever etched in infamy.
A year has passed, since the survivors had have painful memories etched into them permanently!

year has passed, hoping now that lessons learnt with blood are actually implemented.

02/06/2023, Nearly 300 souls lost, 1000s injured. 3 trains, countless causalities. BAHANAGA BAZAR tragedy, hopefully never forgotten.....

Agree
Yup such things should never happen again . I feel sorry for 300 persons who lost their lives
I discussed the derailment issue with few persons with Railway working ( SM,Signal engineers and ALPs)
They also could not arrive at conclusion .How Coro LP got thru signal when Goods train was parked in main line . At the time of accident ,Coro was running at 128 kmh As soon as Signal was changed , green to red , LP applied brake and 2

coaches derailed jumped and coro Loco hit the goods train .
Coaches in behind fell on the down line .
The train going towards hwh ( banglore howrah )was Running at 116 kmh
This train was late by few hours and it crashed in to coaches with full speed .
were LP instructed to coverup delay ??( Such things are verbal )
Certain issue will never be brought out open so that IR can escape the responsibility of safety of passengers /crew lives

Note
Whenever. I travel,I pray to all the Gods for safety of train ,pax ,crew

Re# 6082880-4               Past Edits
A small correction.
As soon as the loco pilot pressed the emergency brake suddenly, due to high velocity of the train at 128kmph and suddenly emergency brake, the loco due to inertia of motion flied up and climbed over the freight train. As soon as the coupling with loco detached, there as a sudden jerk on LVPH Coach next to loco, it derailed and all subsequent coaches got derailed.
Train no 12864 was crossing at that point towards HWH, one of the derailed coaches of Coromondel hit the 2nd and

3rd GS coach towards the end of 12864. Due to the impact, the last 2 coaches (SLRD, GS coaches) of 12864 derailed and the 3rd coach from end was partially damaged. Due to presence of mind of locopilot of 12864, the loco pilot didn't pressed the emergency brake suddenly, so the rest of 12864 which was running at around 120kmph didn't got derailed at that spot.
Later at Balasore, the 3rd coach from end of 12864 was detached from rake. That GS coach is now at KGP workshop.

This is the first time I am spotting an HE1 coach in a normal train. Considering that this train doesn't even have a single AC 1 by default, wouldn't it be more proper to just add a single H1 instead of HE1?
