With the derailment of the empty train at a tunnel at Gorapur on the Andhra-Odisha border, the movement of particularly freight trains on the track was stopped for undertaking track repairs
According to railway officials, 15 bogies of the empty goods train going from Visakhapatnam to Kirandul derailed near the Andhra-Odisha border.
