Intermittent trains on the same line

After the route of one train is cleared, another train is being moved forward. Railway officials have said, ‘The goods train was going on the main down line at the time of the accident. After the accident, a major part of the main upline and main downline has been badly damaged. Work is being done to remove crooked tracks and lay new tracks.
