Train movement on the Dhaka–Sylhet and Dhaka–Chattogram routes resumed around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday after a derailed coach of the Dhaka Mail train was recovered at Bhairab Bazar Railway Junction in Kishoreganj. The derailment occurred at about 3:30 a.m. near the station’s outer signal area when the Chattogram-bound Dhaka Mail was crossing from line 1 to line 2, causing two wheels of one coach to go off the track and blocking the line completely.

Railway authorities dispatched a relief train from Akhaura at 7:00 a.m., which began recovery operations at the site. After roughly three and a half hours of work, the derailed coach was removed, allowing train services to restart. The incident had halted all train traffic on the route for several hours.

During the disruption, multiple trains including the Cox’s Bazar Express, Egarsindur Express, Parabat Express, Chattogram Mail, and Turna Nishitha Express were stranded at Bhairab and nearby stations, leaving thousands of passengers delayed and inconvenienced.
