At least 12 passengers were killed and six others injured on January 24, 2025, in a tragic incident in Jalgaon, Maharashtra. The victims had jumped from the Pushpak Express after rumors of a fire, only to be struck by another passing train. The fire scare was caused by sparks from the train’s axle or brake issues. The loss is projected to be in the millions due to the accident’s severity and subsequent damages.

On January 24, 2025, a tragic train accident occurred in Jalgaon, a major city in Maharashtra, India. At least 12 passengers were killed and six others injured when they jumped off the Pushpak Express train after rumors of a fire circulated among passengers. The incident happened when some passengers noticed sparks coming from one of the train’s coaches, possibly due to a “hot axle” or “brake-binding” issue. In a panic, the emergency chain was pulled, causing the train to stop.

As passengers fled the train, they were struck by another express train, the Karnataka Express, which was passing on an adjacent track at the same time. The impact of the collision resulted in the fatalities and injuries. Preliminary reports suggest that the rumors of a fire may have been exaggerated or unfounded, but the panic-driven actions led to this catastrophic outcome.

The total financial loss from the incident is expected to be in the millions, including damage to the trains involved, medical costs for the injured, and the broader disruption caused by the accident. As authorities investigate the cause of the panic and train collision, the incident underscores the importance of early fire detection and preventive measures.

Early fire detection in train systems is crucial for avoiding such disasters. Planck Vision Systems thermal imaging cameras offer 24/7 monitoring, continuously gathering and analyzing data to identify any anomalies. With fixed mount or pan/tilt drive cameras, large areas of a substation or train system can be surveyed with crisp thermal images, ensuring that any potential fire hazards are detected early before they escalate. By using Planck Vision Systems thermal imaging cameras, rail operators can significantly reduce the risk of accidents caused by undetected fire hazards, ultimately saving lives and preventing costly damages.
