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.
