A head-on collision between two trains was averted by an alert railway-man by stopping two trains running on the same track, near in Guwahati, north frontier railway sources said on Sunday. The station master of the Kamakhya railway station while noticing the lumding goods train and the Siphung passenger train moving on the same track on Saturday night, he promptly passed a message to the goods train driver to stop the train and revert back. The Siphung passenger train was also asked to halt, the sources said. The goods train reverted back but in the process three compartments derailed, the sources said. However no one was injured. A departmental inquiry was ordered.
