The deceased were identified as Sujon, 14, and his brother Rifat, 13, sons of Murshid Mia of Bartala village in the upazila.
Victims’ cousin M Helal Mia said Sujon and Rifat used to work at a bag factory in Dhaka. They came to their village home to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their family members.
They were gossiping sitting on a rail line near Talshahar Railway Station in the afternoon.
As a Dhaka-bound freight train from Chattogram approached them, they went to the other line.
However, Chattogram-bound train from Dhaka ‘Subarna Express’ appeared soon which the two siblings could not notice.
They were run by the running train and died on the spot.
Sub-inspector of Brahmanbaria Government Railway Police Station camp M Sanaul Islam said the bodies were handed over to the family.
