Three AC coaches of the Korba-Visakhapatnam Express were gutted by fire on Sunday morning shortly after the train arrived at Visakhapatnam railway station, Andhra Pradesh.
The fire began near the A1 coach, prompting passengers to raise an alarm. Railway officials then assisted everyone in safely evacuating the train, even as the flames spread to three coaches.
All passengers were evacuated without harm, and the fire has since been brought under control.
Following its arrival from Korba, the train was scheduled to continue to Tirupati. An official stated that alternative arrangements are being made for the affected passengers.
