Three coaches of the Ujjaini Express derailed near the Khand Gaon area in Rishikesh on Monday night (May 19, 2026) when the train was being moved to the railway yard, officials said.
There were no passengers on board when the incident occurred around 9:40 p.m. close to the Yog Nagri railway station.
According to officials, the accident occurred when the train was passing through the yard area.
The train runs between Lakshmibai Nagar in Indore and Yog Nagari Rishikesh
Railway sources said the locomotive collided with the buffer (dead end) located at the terminus of the shunting line, resulting in increased pressure on the coaches.
Consequently, one coach was thrown off the tracks, while another buckled in the middle.
Three coaches of the train sustained damage in the incident, they said.
