"The derailed coach was salvaged around 5:30pm, and train operations resumed shortly afterwards," he added.
According to Ashok, the Titas Commuter train, arriving from Dhaka and heading towards Brahmanbaria, experienced the derailment when the coach right behind the engine went off the tracks at Talshahar Station.
This led to the suspension of rail communication on the down line with Chattogram and Sylhet.
