Derailment draws crowd, sparks online humor
Photos of the incident quickly spread online, sparking humorous memes suggesting that trains are now being used for plowing fields. "The engine, without any coaches, derailed at Gaya junction railway station yard on Saturday morning. Since the derailment happened at the yard, the movement of other trains was not affected. Mechanical and other technical staffers restored the engine soon after the derailment," East Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Sharswati Chandra told PTI.
