Crashes

On 20 August 1995, a train operating the service collided with Purushottam Express near Firozabad at 02:55 a.m. on the Delhi–Kanpur section. The Firozabad rail disaster was the second deadliest rail crash in Indian history. Estimates vary, but at least 368 people were killed. The first train (Kalindi Express) from Kanpur struck a cow but was unable to proceed as its brakes were damaged. It was then struck from behind at a speed of 100 kmph by the Purushottam Express from Puri. Three carriages of the Kalindi Express were destroyed, the engine and the front two carriages of the Purushottam Express were derailed. Most of the 2,200 passengers aboard the two trains were asleep at the time of the collision.
On 16 January 2010, three people were killed and 14 injured when the Kalindi Express rammed into Kanpur Central-bound Shram Shakti Express near Tundla Junction due to dense morning fog.
