A bogie of a freight train derailed at Borohoron near Brahmanbaria rail station in Sadar upazila on Wednesday morning, snapping the rail communication with  Dhaka through the up line.


However, the train communication through the down line on Dhaka-Chattogram-Sylhet rail route is normal.

Imtiaz Rahman, locomaster of the freight train, said two wheels of the Dhaka-bound goods-laden train from Chattogram veered off the tracks a few yards off Brahmanbaria rail station around 11 am, halting train movement on the up line.

A number of trains were stranded at different rail stations, causing suffering to the commuters.

Already a relief train from Akhaura reached the spot and is working to salvage the bogie.
