Solan, February 23

Coach of a workman special train, deputed to transport water, derailed at Barog railway station at 11.05 am on Tuesday morning halting rail traffic on the Kalka-Shimla World heritage rail track.

Railway officials said no one was injured as it doesnt carry any passenger and has a driver and a guard. Crane was rushed in from Kalka to remove the coach and work was underway to clear the track.

Two trains, including one going uphills from Kalka and another coming down hills from Shimla, have been halted. The 04516 down train, which took off from Shimla at 10:30 am was halted at Kandaghat at 12:45 pm for half-and-hour and further at Solan. The Up 04515 train enroute Kalka-Shimla was detained at Dharampur. It had taken off from Kalka at 12:10 pm.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
