Mumbai-Bhagalpur Express Coaches Detach Near Satna, India
Imagine a train like a long snake made of connected cars.
One night, three cars on the Mumbai–Bhagalpur Express came loose!
This happened near Satna, India.
Luckily, the train was going very slow, only 10 km per hour.
This was because the part that connected the cars, called the coupling, broke.
The detached cars stopped about 100 meters behind the rest of the train.
If the train had been going faster, the accident could have been much worse.
The train's brakes stopped it quickly because of the broken coupling, saving everyone on board from a serious accident.
Three coaches detached from the Mumbai–Bhagalpur Express near Satna, India.
The incident happened on the Satna–Manikpur rail section late Sunday night.
Detached coaches included an M-1 coach, a general coach, and the guard’s van.
The train was traveling at 10 km per hour, preventing a major accident.
The S-1 coach's broken coupling caused the coaches to detach.
