a major safety concern on the crucial Agra-Tundla rail route. The tower wagon, resembling a train coach, is used for repairing electrical equipment malfunctions. According to a railway official, the incident occurred when the tower wagon, moving at a speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour, lost its brake power. The wagon was diverted to a loop line near Chhalesar junction and brought to a stop by the loco pilot.
