Rail traffic on Delhi-Ambala mainline of Northern Railway was today disrupted for about three hours after an express train rammed into a sugar cane laden tractor trolley that got stuck in the track near Mohri station in the district.
The trolley got stuck in the middle of the railway crossing after the hook attaching it with the tractor broke, railway sources said.
Some people tried to push the trolley away, but in the meantime the Tata Nagar-Muri Express arrived from Delhi and hit the trolley.
The train driver applied emergency brakes, but could not prevent the train from hitting the trolley.
Rail traffic remained disrupted for about three hours and movement of vehicles was also affected, they said adding the Delhi division of North Railway was going into the matter.
