Sakleshpur, Jan 6: Train services between Mangalore and Bangalore which were stalled following the snapping of the tracks near Sakleshpur on Friday January 4, have resumed.
On Saturday January 5, the Yeshwantpur-Kannur-Karwar train arrived in Mangalore and proceeded towards Bangalore the same night.
On Friday morning, the engines of Yeshwantpur Express to Kannur derailed due to a snap in the tracks. Luckily a major tragedy was averted thanks to the presence of the mind of the driver, who brought the train to a halt at the right moment.
Following the accident, train services between Mangalore and Bangalore had been cancelled for a day.
By Friday evening, the tracks were repaired, after which the train services resumed. The snapping of the track has raised some suspicion and the matter is being investigated, said railway officials.
