Toy train engine overturns on National Highway in Kurseong

On Friday afternoon, a toy train engine overturned near Kurseong, causing panic among the tourists who were traveling or planning to travel by the famous toy train. The incident took place near a bend close to Gothels School in the city. However, it was later found out that the engine was being transported from Darjeeling to the Tindharia workshop for repair, and there were no passengers or railway workers present at the time of the accident.

Although no one was injured in the incident, it causes a stir and a traffic jam on the National Highway. This news could potentially cause problems for tourism in the region. The toy train is one of the major attractions of Darjeeling, and incidents like this can create panic among tourists and discourage them from visiting the area.

It is worth noting that the toy train engine was in bad condition, which is why it was being transported for repair. The backfiring of the engine led to its overturning, causing a light traffic jam in the area. After some effort, the engine was brought back on track and taken to its destination.

While there was no particular problem after the incident, it is essential to take measures to ensure the safety of passengers and workers on the toy train. The authorities must conduct regular maintenance checks on the engines and ensure that they are in good condition before allowing them to operate.
