Railway sources said there were no reports of any casualties or injuries. 

According to an eye-witness, a 'loud noise' was heard before the bogies derailed with a lot of smoke billowing from the engine.

The impact of the accident was so intense that the railway tracks were uprooted . However, the bogies got stuck in the cement slabs kept nearby and did not overturn.

The cause of the derailment has yet to be ascertained.

The Rahui-Biharsharif road was blocked following the accident.
