The Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express, the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast, and a goods train were all involved in the Friday crash. 
The Coromandel Express collided with a stationary goods train at 7 pm on June 2, derailing most of its coaches. Several Coromandel coaches collided with the last few coaches of the Bengaluru-Howrah Express, which was also passing through.

Human error, signal failure, and other potential causes of the three-train collision are being investigated.

According to Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Sunday (June 4), both tracks have been restored. The train movement returned to normal after 51 hours. The train will begin moving immediately.
