Chattogram Bureau :
The Sonar Bangla Express train left Chattogram for Dhaka at 5 pm . Initially, the locomotive of the train ran at a speed of 10-20 kmph, then 60 kmph till Sitakunda.As soon as the train reached Bariadhala, the speed was reduced to 40 kmph. At this speed we went to Bariarhat Chinki Astana.
The road from Bariadhala in Bhatiari to Bariarhat Chinki Astana is 35.2 km. The reason for running at such a speed of 30 km less than normal is that there is not enough stone chips on the railway track.
There are very few rocks up to Bartakia, Mirsarai, Mastannagar and Chinki Astana railway line .. Not only here, but also in Mandbagh of Comilla-Akhaura, Shashidal of Comilla, Kasba of Brahmanbaria, Mujibur Rahman, general secretary of the Loco Learning Employees Association, told media that the Sonar Bangla, Subarna and Turna Express trains run at a maximum speed of 60 kmph on Chattogram -Dhaka route. . If there is a problem with the railways that do not have enough stones, iron sheets, broken or lost clip-hooks, nuts-bolts, fishplates, slippers, then the route has to run at a speed of 40 kilometers.
A locomotive master, on condition of anonymity , told that there are railways in the country where not only no stones, but also iron sheets are very shaky. While running the train, it seems that the train is moving out of the main railway. Holding the steering wheel of the train also becomes a liability due to the shaking. Due to such railways, 80 percent accidents are happening in the country.
An official of the Eastern Railway Engineering Department told on condition of anonymity that the passengers were not shaken as the bogies of the train were connected to each other. The locomasters are the worst victims. Because they live in locomotives, they have to endure more shocks when the railways are dilapidated.
