A track curvature prima facie affected visibility for Karnataka Express which mowed down at least 12 passengers in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district on Wednesday, Railway officials said.<\/p>\n
The passengers of Lucknow-CSMT Pushpak Express got down on tracks amid a fire rumour when the incident occurred, officials said, adding that 15 persons were injured.<\/p>\n
Railway Officials said drivers of both trains followed the protocol and tried their best to avoid the accident.<\/p>\n
A senior Central Railway official said the driver of the Lucknow-CSMT Pushpak Express had turned on the flasher light as per the rule when the train stopped between Maheji and Pardhade stations near Pachora, more than 400 km from Mumbai.<\/p>\n
He said the driver of Karnataka Express applied brakes after seeing the flasher light signal of Pushpak Express.<\/p>\n
“However, the visibility of the train (Karnataka Express) and its braking distance was affected by the track curvature,” he added citing preliminary information.<\/p>\n
According to railway officials, trains run at more than 100 kmph in this section which falls under the trunk route of the railway.<\/p>\n
