Mumbai, October 7
The front portion of the Mumbai-Gandhinagar Vande Bharat Express train, which was damaged after hitting a herd of buffaloes in Gujarat, has been replaced here by the railway authorities, an official said on Friday.
The nose of the newly-launched Mumbai Central-Gandhinagar Vande Bharat Express train had suffered damage after it hit a herd of buffaloes at around 11.15 am on Thursday near Ahmedabad, when the train was on its way to Gandhinagar.
The nose cone cover of the train’s driver coach along with its mounting brackets was damaged in the cattle-hit incident. However, the vital parts of the train remained unaffected. The damaged nose cone was replaced at the Coach Care Centre in Mumbai Central,” said Sumit Thakur, chief public relations officer of the Western Railway.
The nose cone was made up of fibre-reinforced plastic.
