Train traffic on the Chennai-Howrah main line was affected following derailment of a goods train bogie at the Rajamahendravaram railway yard early on Wednesday.
Consequently, the South Central Railway cancelled nine important trains on the Vijayawada-Visakhapatnam section for the day. While three more trains were cancelled partially between different stations, another was rescheduled by two hours, according to SCR Vijayawada division Public Relations Officer Nusrat M Mandrupkar.
The derailment happened closer to the Rajamahendravaram railway station on the down main line, leaving only one line open on the busy Chennai-Howrah route that sees movement of hundreds of trains.
