Hyderabad: The South Central Railway (SCR) cancelled 39 trains and diverted 61 after 11 bogies of a goods train jumped the track between Peddapalli and Ramagundam in Telangana on Tuesday night. Seven trains were partially cancelled and another seven were rescheduled.

The iron ore-laden goods train with 44 bogies left Bellary in Karnataka for Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh and the detachment of the joints between the coaches led to the derailment, following which the bogies jumbled up damaging three tracks.
