Rail operations between Khulna and the rest of the country resumed around 10 hours after the derailment of a Khulna-bound freight train near Ansarbaria station in Jibannagar upazila of Chuadanga early on Wednesday.
Uthali Railway Station Master Mintu Roy said the train services resumed around 11am after the derailed oil tankers were removed from the track.
He said the authorities cancelled the trips of three Dhaka-bound from Khulna and other districts due to schedule collapse, leaving passengers waiting at the stations in trouble.
Moreover, hundreds of train passengers remained stranded for around 10 hours, the station master said.
A four-member body led by Anowar Hossain, Pakshi divisional transport official of Bangladesh Railway, was formed to probe the incident.
Earlier on Wednesday, eight empty oil tankers of the freight train derailed near Ansarbaria station, snapping rail communication.
The train carrying 32 empty tankers was heading to Khulna from Dhaka.
