Train communications on the Jamalpur-Mymensingh route remained snapped for hours as a freight train derailed at Piarpur rail-station here yesterday morning.

Railway sources said the engine of the Jamalpur-bound 'Jamalpur Special Goods Train' veered off the tracks at about 10am at the down point of Pirarpur station.

On information, a relief train from Mymensingh reached the spot to remove the engine from the track.

"Rail communications on the route could resume at 4pm," said one source.
