Kalka-Shimla toy train derailed


Anyo Route, Travel News, 23/09/2021: On the way from Kalka to Shimla, the toy train became derailed today.  However, the railway authorities said that all the passengers were safe.


According to rail and local sources, a toy train derailed near Barog station on the way from Kalka to Shimla at 7.45 am today.  The train stopped with a slight jolt.

Heavy rains since yesterday had caused landslides near Barog station.  There were some stones lying on the train line.  And that's why it's believed that the toy train may have become derailed.


Amar Singh Thakur, Chief Commercial Officer, Kalka-Shimla Railways, said, "Heavy rains and landslides have removed rocks from the bottom of the train line, causing the toy train's wheels to bend this morning. There were nine passengers on the train. All of them are safe. They have been rented a private car from the spot and taken to their destination. "
