Bhubaneswar, July 27 -- A coal-laden goods train derailed between Sikir and Titlagarh stations in the Sambalpur Division of East Coast Railway on Monday after the rear trolley wheel of the 14th loaded wagon from the locomotive slipped off the tracks, officials said.

Senior railway officials rushed to the spot, while an Accident Relief Train from Kantabanji was dispatched to undertake restoration work, which is being carried out on a war footing.
East Coast Railway said the derailment has not affected passenger train services and efforts are underway to restore normal freight operations at the earliest.
