Cyclone Phailin: Train services resume on Howrah-Vishakhapatnam route

According to an East Coast Railway (ECoR) statement, 16 trains originating from the the zone including Bhubaneswar-Mumbai Konark express will leave as per schedule today.
 
Three trains will, however, remain cancelled while the services of five trains will be rescheduled.  
 
Railways had on Saturday announced cancellation of scores of trains and diversion of about a dozen trains running between Howrah and Chennai after the Howrah-Visakhapatnam section was closed to rail traffic as a precautionary measure before Cyclone Phailin made landfall near Gopalpur in Odisha.  
 
Structural damage was reported in some of the stations in ECoR due to the cyclone.
 
There were also reports of uprooting of trees along the tracks and non-functional over-head equipment and signalling systems.
