How did the accident happen?
The Bagmati Express train accident is said to be due to a wrong signal. The worst train accident in odisha was also caused by an incorrect signal. Similarly Baghmati Express also traveled on a reserve track due to the wrong signal given by the goods train. As a result, the express collided with the stationary freight train at a speed of about 100 kmph and caused an accident. Trains have been temporarily suspended following the accident. Also, Southern Railway has started an inquiry into the accident.
