Chaos erupted near Tiruvallur railway station on Sunday when a fuel-carrying freight train caught fire, igniting five wagons in a terrifying chain reaction.
The blaze triggered mass panic and forced the cancellation of several long-distance and suburban train services.
Fire and rescue teams, along with railway officials, rushed to the scene and battled the flames for over two hours.
Overhead electrical power was cut immediately as a precautionary measure, causing further disruption.
Eyewitnesses described thick smoke billowing over the station and surrounding areas as emergency responders fought to control the situation.
Rail services remained suspended during and after the operation, leaving passengers stranded and raising serious safety questions about fuel logistics on passenger lines.
An investigation has been launched into the cause of the fire.
