Toy Train Engine Derails Near Darjeeling

The engine of a Darjeeling Himalayan Railway toy train jumped off the tracks on Saturday, making it the second derailment in the last 10 days.  
    
No person was injured in the incident though the road that runs alongside the railway track was blocked for several hours, a Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) official said here.
    
The toy train, which has been accorded UNESCO World Heritage Site status, operates under the DHR of the Katihar division of NFR.
    
바카라�There was an incident of derailment of a light engine between Darjeeling and Ghoom stations at around 2.30 pm today,바카라� the official at the NFR headquarters here said.
    
바카라�The engine fell by the wayside. But there was no injury to any person. As the engine fell on the road, vehicle movement was affected. Cranes have been deployed to clear the engine,바카라� he said. 
    
Another incident of derailment of a toy train engine occurred under DHR on February 24.
    
바카라�There was no injury in that case too바카라�, he added.
    
The NFR official said such incidents of derailment occur due to various reasons, with the primary cause being that the tracks cannot be modernised.
    
바카라�Since it has the UNESCO World Heritage Site tag, we cannot re-lay the tracks using modern technology. The tracks are constantly supervised.
    
바카라�Still, at times such derailments happen. But since the toy train runs at a very slow speed, no major damage or any injury is caused,바카라� the official said.
