Brake failure suspected in Rae Bareli rail mishap

Sources added the inquiry by the CRS will ascertain the reason of the derailment, but it seems, the brake-pipe between the locomotive and the coaches were apparently disconnected causing brake failure. An eyewitness, who was travelling in the first bogey and was fortunate enough to jump at Bachrawan railway station where the train did not halt before the mishap, said that he saw the driver and the guard frantically signalling from the doors.
