The Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Express train that rammed into a stationary goods train on Friday night at Kavaraippettai Railway Station in Tamil Nadu`s Tiruvallur under Chennai division of the Southern Railway was en route from Mysuru to Darbhanga when it mistakenly entered the loop line where the goods train was stationed, resulting in the collision, officials said.

"This train was going towards Gudur and further to Andhra Pradesh, and via Odisha it would have gone to Darbhanga after starting from Mysuru. As it passed through this station (Kavaraippettai), a goods train was stabled on the loop line, which was given precedence," Southern Railway General Manager RN Singh told reporters.
