Indian Railways is operating thousands of trains across the country. Crores of passengers travel in these trains every day. A huge network of Indian Railways is spread across the country. The Indian rail network is counted among the largest rail networks in the world. Indian Railways has made many arrangements to make the safety of passengers and their journey convenient. However, in the past years, many rail accidents have come to the fore due to some flaws.
At the same time, recently a big case of conspiracy to overturn a train has come to the fore in Rajasthan. Cement blocks were placed at many places on the railway track in Ajmer district for about one kilometer to overturn the train. In such a situation, many people often have a question whether the train overturns by placing a stone or gas cylinder on the track. If you also want to know about this, then today we are going to tell you about this.
Gas cylinders are heavy and are usually full. However, their weight is negligible compared to the train. If the cylinder is kept on the railway track, it can damage the track. In such a situation, there is a slight possibility of the train getting derailed. However, the possibility of the train overturning directly is negligible.
If a large number of big and heavy stones are kept on the railway track, it can damage the track surface. Damage to the track surface can cause the train to derail.
However, even after placing stones on the track, the possibility of the train overturning is very low. The railway network uses many types of engineering and techniques to keep the train safe.
Apart from this, the railway track is regularly monitored by railway employees. Indian Railways also adopts many measures related to safety and improvement to strengthen the structure of the train.
