Train movement along the principal route between north Bengal and Northeast was disrupted for around three hours on Wednesday night after a bogie of a goods train went off

the tracks near the Khalaigram station in Jalpaiguri district.

Sources said the goods train with 43 bogies was heading towards the Dhupguri station. While it started from Khalaigram around 10.30pm, the derailment occurred.

Railway officials and RPF personnel from Khalaigram and Dhupguri reached the spot. Officials of the Alipurduar railway division of the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) also arrived after some time.

A number of trains were regulated at other stations and some trains were diverted via the Changrabandha-Mathabhanga route.

The NFR engaged workers to remove the derailed bogie and the tracks were cleared.

The traffic along the main route was restored on Thursday early morning.

Railway authorities have ordered a probe into the derailment.
