"Rail traffic was affected due to separating of a rear wheel from the engine of Delhi-bound Dehradun Express near the yard at Godhra railway station this morning," Uday Shankar Jha, senior divisional commercial manager of Vadodara region, Western Railway, told PTI.
The lines were restored later on, he said.
Nobody was injured in the incident, but traffic was affected for about three hours.
The damaged engine was separated from Dehradun express and it was replaced by another one before it left for Delhi at around 1135 hrs, Jha said.
The railways took care of the stranded passengers of the train at Godhra railway station, before it left for Delhi, he added.
