The tracks on which the accident happened are also owned by NTPC and mainly used for transporting coal to its power plants.
“The drivers of both the goods trains were killed in the head-on collision,” Sub-Divisional Police Officer of Sahebganj Kishore Tirkey told PTI.
Eastern Railway spokesperson Kausik Mitra said, “The goods trains and the track both belong to the NTPC. It has nothing to do with the Indian Railways.” The line on which the accident happened connects NTPC’s Kahalgaon Super Thermal Power Station in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district to the Farakka Power Plant in Murshidabad district of West Bengal.
