The derailment late on Saturday has disrupted railway traffic on the route.
According to the railway officials, the iron ore-carrying goods train on way to Visakhapatnam from Bacheli got derailed between Bhansi and Kamalur stations in Chhattisgarh as the tracks had been removed.
Rescue teams were working on a war-footing to restore traffic on the route when reports last came in.
