The Northeast Frontier Railway today denied that a toy train of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway had derailed near Chnabhatti on January 26 leading to the death of a passenger as reported in a section of the media.
"There had not been any derailment of narrow gauge train near Chnabhatti on January 26 and the report that three coaches of the toy train derailed is misleading," N F railway CPRO S Lahiri said.
The NF railway CPRO said in a statement, "It is unfortunate that the deceased had panicked at the normal jolts and movement of the train and jumped from the running train leading to her death."
A woman had died when she jumped from the toy train near Chnabhatti in Siliguri on January 26.
