Odisha train accident | Data logger analysis to provide crucial evidence for rail probe

The Hindu  

With a preliminary investigation pointing to a possible failure of the signalling system, the analysis of the data logger in the Kharagpur-Bhadrak section of the South Eastern Railway will provide crucial evidence to the circumstances that led to a multi-train collision and claimed the lives of over 250 passengers and left about 900 others injured. A senior railway official said that the data logger could help identify the real cause of a failure, with little scope to suppress any human error. The official referred to other instances where trains passed into the loop line though there was a green signal for the main line, and said that such situations were possible when the signalling staff engaged in relay repair work without obtaining a block from the Section Controller. The data logger will provide crucial input to the Commissioner of Railway Safety who will conduct the detailed investigation of the major accident, railway sources added.
