Chennai train’s engine stalls, services hit
The engine of train no. 12623 mail superfast express
from Chennai to Thiruvananthapuram seized up after it left the station
here and reached the nearby tunnel around 7.35 a.m. on Tuesday.
As
it got stranded on the single line, several trains were held up at
stations such as Changanassery, Ettumanur and Thiruvalla for
two-and-a-half hours.
The line was cleared after an
engine was brought from Ernakulam and connected to the stranded train at
10 a.m. Many passengers had got off the train by then and took buses to
their destinations.
Railway authorities said the engine started malfunctioning soon after the train left the Tripunithura station.
