|
|
Hundreds of rail passengers in India had to give the electric train they were riding on a push after it lost power from the overhead wires.
The train in the eastern state of Bihar had stopped in a 'neutral zone' after a passenger pulled the emergency chain.
Normally, a train's momentum allows it to continue through such zones.
This time, however, passengers had to push the train 12 feet (4 metres) to the next stretch of live wires.
A spokesman for Indian Railways said: 'In so many years of service in the railways, I have never come across such a bizarre incident.' _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |
