Mysuru: Rail traffic on the busy Mysuru-Bengaluru section was thrown out of gear as a petrol tanker goods train derailed near B.M. Sri Nagar bridge close to Railway Goods Shed terminal at about 4 pm yesterday.
The petrol tanker train, after unloading petrol at IOC terminal, was on a shunting move towards the track-changing point, when one of the tanker derailed and rammed into an electric pole and control box alongside the track. A major mishap was averted as the tankers were empty, it is learnt.
