The oil tankers went off the track on Tuesday night when the goods train was on the siding line of an oil depot near Bhitoni railway station, said West Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Rahul Shrivastava.
Since restoration in such cases is done in daylight, the work started on Wednesday after sunrise, he said.
