The Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Express (Train No. 12578) collided with a stationary goods train at Kavaraippettai railway station near Chennai on Friday night, injuring 19 passengers and derailing 12 coaches. The accident occurred due to the express train mistakenly switching to the loop line instead of the main line. Southern Railways officials stated that the driver followed the correct signals, but a heavy jerk diverted the train. A rescue train resumed the journey for stranded passengers early Saturday morning. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the derailment.
