Railway traffic on the Amritsar-Phagwara section was suspended for around four hours on Wednesday after debris from the railing of a bridge, into which a car crashed, snapped power lines, railway officials said.
The car rammed into the railing of the Chaheru rail over-bridge, around six km from here. Chunks of the cemented railing fell on the power lines, damaging them, they said here.
The Katra-Delhi Sampark-Kranti Express was stranded for over three hours after the incident that occurred early today, the railway officials said.
The car was badly damaged and was later seized by the Railway Protection Force (RPF).
