Vadodara: Two bogies of a goods train carrying oil to Mumbai from Gujarat Refinery derailed at Vadodara railway station today, briefly affecting the movement of trains on Mumbai-Delhi route.

Nobody was injured in the mishap, the police said. It, however, caused large amount of oil spillage on tracks, the police said.

Meanwhile, Vadodara BJP MP Balkrishna Shukla has demanded a probe into the derailment.

"About 1.30 lakh litres of oil spilled over the tracks and surrounding areas because of the derailment. It is a very serious matter and the guilty should be punished," he said.

Gujarat Refinery, located at Koyali on the outskirts of the city, is owned by Indian Oil Corporation.

Shahrukh Khan, who is busy receiving praises for his mass entertainer Chennai Express, shares his memory about train journey from Delhi to Agra.When asked about his memory in train, SRK said, "I have one memory of traveling in train. There was a show in Delhi and I did work for 50 rupees. It was my first earning and me and my friends took a ticket and went to Agra to see Taj Mahal with that money.""After we saw Agra we were hungry, but had no money to eat. So, we had lassi outside Taj Mahal. We all friends had lot of fun, but later we were vomiting till we reached Delhi. So in a way it was a good and worst experience. As children we never traveled in trains as we were so poor that we couldn't travel," concluded SRK.

अगर आप ट्रेन में सफर करते हैं और बिना पैसे खर्च किए रेल के डिब्बे में ही कई सुविधाएं फ्री में पाना चाहते हैं तो आपके लिए रेलवे बड़ी खुशखबरी लेकर आया है। इस खुशखबरी से आपको मुफ्त में एक खास सुविधा मिल सकेगी। एक ऐसी सुविधा जिसके लिए आप अब तक पैसे चुकाते थे और जिसके बिना ट्रेन में सफर करना आपके लिए मुश्किल होता।
भारतीय रेल ने यात्रियों के लिए बुनियादी सुविधाओं में इजाफा करने के अपने प्रयास के तहत यात्री डिब्बों में जल्द ही वाटर प्यूरीफायर लगाने का फैसला किया है, ताकि लोगों को सफर के दौरान शुद्ध पानी मिल सके।
रेल मंत्रालय के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने कहा, वाटर प्यूरीफायर की सुविधा वाले डिब्बे जालंधर में जगाधरी रेल कार्यशाला में तैयार किए जा रहे हैं और जल्द ही ये लंबी दूरी की एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनों में लगाए जाएंगे।
उन्होंने कहा, रेलगाड़ियों में पानी की आपूर्ति स्टेशनों से की जाती है और कई इलाकों में पानी में लौह तत्व की अशुद्धता के कारण पानी की गुणवत्ता प्रभावित होती है।
मौजूदा समय में सिर्फ लक्जरी रेलगाड़ियों में वाटर प्यूरीफायर की सुविधा उपलब्ध है। राजधानी और शताब्दी की पैंट्री में पहले से ही वाटर प्यूरीफायर लगा हुआ है।
अधिकारी ने कहा, हमारा मकसद रेलगाड़ियों में स्वच्छ पानी उपलब्ध कराना है और हम एलएचबी डिब्बे में इस सुविधा की शुरुआत कर रहे हैं और बाद में अन्य डिब्बों में भी यह सुविधा उपलब्ध कराई जाएगी।

Palampur:
Train services in the Kangra valley, on the Pathankot-Joginder Nagar 120-km rail track, remained suspended for the second day today following heavy landslides at different points between Guler and Kangra. Several retaining walls on the track have also developed cracks.Official sources today said heavy rain and flash floods in the past two days had caused extensive damage to the rail track at many points between Ranital, Koparlahar and Kangra, forcing railway authorities to cancel many trains on this route.The Railways have managed to run four trains between Pathankot and Guler section, but beyond Guler, the rail track is yet to be repaired.Meanwhile, hundreds of passengers, particularly daily commuters, are the worst hit as no train is plying regularly on this route for the past one month. Residents of Palampur, Baijnath, Paprola, Kangra, Nagrota Bagwan and Joginder Nagar have been facing inconvenience in the absence of train services.The British had laid down the Kangra valley narrow gauge railway line in 1932, linking all important and religious towns of Kangra and Mandi districts.Unfortunately, the Indian Railways have not added even a single brick to this track in the past 79 years. With a manifold increase in the population and increase in the tourist traffic to the Kangra valley in the past 25 years, the Railways have failed to come up to the expectations of local people.

The same century-old and outdated engines and coaches are still plying on this track.
