Around 50 hours after Odisha train accident, trial runs over; most trains set to resume on Monday

Barely 51 hours after the tragic railway accident in Balasore’s Bahanaga, trial runs were completed late Sunday night on the Down line of the affected stretch (Chennai-Howrah). The Up line was restored earlier in the day. After a trolley run, a goods train passed the affected stretch safely under the watch of rail minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and officials. The track-restoration work at the affected site is “almost over” and most trains could return to the route as early as Monday, officials said.
