During cyclones, heavy rainfall and flooding can submerge railway tracks, making them unsafe for train operations. Strong winds can also damage overhead wires and signals, further disrupting services. For instance, during Cyclone Arnab, the South Eastern Railway had to cancel 10 pairs of trains, affecting connectivity to key stations like Tatanagar, Chandil, and Chakradharpur. Additionally, some trains were rerouted to avoid waterlogged areas, causing delays and inconvenience to passengers.
