Train movement along the New Jalpaiguri-New Alipurduar route, the main route that connects the Northeast with rest of the country, was disrupted for over two hours on Thursday afternoon as two wagons of a goods train derailed at Salbari, a station in Jalpaiguri district.
A number of long-distance express trains were stopped at different stations of north Bengal following the incident at 3.45pm.
Eventually, railway workers managed to bring the wheels of derailed wagons back on tracks.
Movement of trains was restored around 6.10pm.
