India Nov 19, 2025

A major train accident was narrowly avoided near Vizianagaram on Wednesday morning, all thanks to the alertness of the loco pilots.
Two trains—a passenger DMU and a goods train—ended up on the same track, but both were stopped just in time before anything went wrong.

What happened next

Railway officials quickly stepped in after the scare, safely reversing the goods train to another track near Gotlam village.
An official inquiry is now underway to figure out how this mix-up happened and make sure future journeys stay safe.
