Gaisal

its a peace fully area because of my birth place area so i love it.

Small and nice railway station of Indian Railways.

The Gaisal train disaster occurred on 2 August 1999, when two trains Avadh Assam Express & Brahmaputra Mail carrying approximately 2,500 people collided at the remote station of Gaisal, Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal, approximately 19 kilometers from Kishanganj Station. The crash involved such high speeds that the trains exploded upon impact, killing at least 290 people.nnThe crash occurred at about 1:45am on 2 August, when the Avadh Assam Express from New Delhi was stationary at the Gaisal station. Through a signaling error, the Brahmaputra Mail from Dibrugarh was transferred onto the same track as the express train. No one on either train or in the signals and station master's office noticed the error. As a result, Brahmaputra Mail train crashed headlong into the front of the Avadh Assam Express. The locomotive of Avadh Assam Express was thrown high in the air, and passengers from both trains were blown into neighbouring buildings and fields by the force of the explosion.

Railway Station connecting North Bengal. Gateway to Siliguri.

When I heard name 'Gaisal' word ,then first I remember 'the train disaster'.
