Three bogies of the empty rake of a suburban EMU train derailed at Avadi railway station while shunting from Avadi EMU car shed to main line at 05:40 hrs.
The suburban UP line (towards Chennai Central) was affected while there was minor disruption on the Express main line owing to OHE cable glitch, says a release from Southern Railway.
Consequently, five EMU trains towards Chennai Central were delayed.
Three Express trains from Chennai Central —Vande Bharat (Chennai-Mysore), Shatabdhi (Chennai - Mysore) and Kovai Express (Chennai - Coimbatore)—were regulated near Ambattur railway station.
Three express trains originating from Chennai Central were rescheduled (Saptagiri Express, Brindavan Express and Double Decker Express).
Divisional Railway Manager and his team of senior officials are on the spot.
While the restoration has been in full swing, the main line has been restored for traffic and express trains. Delayed/regulated trains have commenced their journey. EMU services are also diverted to run on the fast line. The suburban line restoration works are in progress and traffic will be restored in a few hours, the release said
