:( this is horrifying
“It is believed that several carriages from the Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express derailed at about 19:00 local time (13:30 GMT), with some of them ending up on the opposite track.
Another train - the Howrah Superfast Express travelling from Yesvantpur to Howrah - is then thought to have hit the overturned carriages.
Indian officials said that a goods train - which was stationary at the site - was also involved in the incident. They provided no further details.”
