Train engine derails, veers into field in Bihar's Gaya

Villagers clicked pictures of the bizarre spotting and posted them on social media, which sparked a wave of memes online, with jokes on trains now being used to plough fields.

The engine, which was running without any coaches, was heading toward Gaya on a loop line when it lost control and derailed and veered into the field between Raghunathpur village between Wazirganj station and Kolhna halt.

A railway relief team later arrived at the site, and efforts were underway to return the engine to the tracks.
