“As USFD testing has been outsourced, engineering officials and officers are not showing concern about proper USFD testing/test check manual which has resulted in the accident. The CRS noted that KRC officials were simply signing USDF testing report without doing test check and verifying factual position on reports submitted by the agency. The CRS said that the USFD operator of the firm engaged by the KRC was not having knowledge of USFD manual, adding, “it appears that they had not taken formal training in USFD testing of rails and welds as per stipulation of manual.”
It would have been a disaster if a passenger train had met with an accident,” the report said.
“It was a matter of chance that the train which derailed on rail fracture was a goods train. While calling for safety precautions at tunnels, bridges, tunnels, bridge approaches and high embankments, the SRS has told the KR to set up a high-level Director-level committee to address all issues of safety. The CRS has further recommended introduction of round-the-clock patrolling on the pattern of cold weather patrolling along the entire length of the Konkan railway.
