A bandit gang removed the rails across a bridge, plunging the engine and five coaches into a creek thirty feet below. Following the derailment, the bandits savagely attacked the passengers, slaughtering 30, including the train staff and British, Russian and Hindu passengers. They ruthlessly drove the other passengers into the country. The bandits then systematically looted the train, decamping leaving behind a terrible scene of carnage and destruction.
