Report in two days on train overshooting signal

  • | Thursday | 22nd February, 2018

A probe report on a goods train jumping the signal and travelling 150 metres on a wrong track near the Ernakulam North railway station on Tuesday is awaited in two days. The Railway had suspended both its loco pilot and assistant loco pilot after they mistook the green signal given to a passenger train and took the goods train on the wrong track. The goods train manned by young loco pilots was carrying petroleum products. A Railway official ruled out the possibility of the train colliding with another train on the track since the loco pilot had stopped the goods train on noticing that it had entered the wrong track. This wrong entry would automatically turn the signal red for other trains on the track, he said.
