Train Took 4 Years To Complete Journey Of 42 Hours. Even Railway Officials Are Confused

Trains getting late in India is nothing new and it is a matter that needs to be addressed by the Indian Railways on an emergency basis.

However, a train broke all the records of getting late when it completed its journey of 1316 kms in 4 years instead of the stipulated time of 42 hours 13 minutes.

A goods train wagon carrying fertilizers left the Vishakhapatnam (AP) station on November 10, 2014 and reached Basti station (UP) on July 25, 2018, leaving all the station officials in the state of shock and surprise.

Sanjay Yadav, the Chief PRO of North Eastern Railway Zone, feels that it may be the case of a wagon or ferry going unfit or sick and being sent to yard. Sanjay Yadav told that the consignment was sent by Indian Potash Limited, Vishakhapatnam, for a businessman Ramchandra Gupta in Basti.

As per Gupta, he has not paid for the consignment and the matter is now between the Indian Railways and the company.

Speaking on behalf of the Indian Potash Limited, DK Saxena, the Assistant Marketing Manager, Gorakhpur, told that a rake was booked in November 2014 but it went missing and the cost of the consignment is Rs. 14 lakhs.

DK Saxena also said that the company has filed a claim on Railways and they will receive the consignment after evaluating the condition of the material.

4 years is a really long time and an enquiry should be done as to how it happened and what the officials were doing at that time. What do you have to say in this connection? Let us know your views.
