ISLAMABAD, June 19 (Xinhua) -- The goods train service between Pakistan and Iran was suspended after a freight train derailed in Pakistan's southwest Balochistan province, Pakistan Railways sources said on Saturday.
At least six bogies of the freight train, which was on its way to the provincial capital city of Quetta from Iranian Zahedan city, derailed Saturday near Dalbandin in Chagai district of the province, sources told Xinhua, adding that no one was injured in the incident.
The sources said that the incident occurred due to overspeeding of the train on the dilapidated Pakistan-Iran railway track, adding that around about 30 meters of the railway track was affected after the incident and repair work has been started.
Additional rescue teams have been dispatched from Quetta to the area to restore the train service expeditiously, sources added. Enditem
