The locomotive of a train got locked with rail-line near the Moghbazar level-crossing in capital Saturday afternoon, causing serious traffic congestion in the adjacent area.
The train, Turag, headed for Joydebpur, became inoperative just ten minutes after starting its journey from Kamalapur rail station in the capital at about 5:30pm, said one of the employee at the train, preferring anonymity.
The passenger-train remained stranded for one hour and a quarter, blocking the busy Moghbazar-Mohakhali road, the witnesses said.
Most of passengers of the train got down from it and took other transportations for their respective destinations.
At about 7:00pm, another locomotive from Kamalapur station took the train back to the station, leaving only the locomotive.
No casualty, however, was reported.
