Patna, India – A stalled train got a helpful nudge from hundreds of railway passengers in eastern India, a railway official said Wednesday.
The train stalled in the state of Bihar on Tuesday when an electrical connection snapped, railway spokesman A.K. Chandra said.
The driver then asked the passengers to push the train to the next electricity pole about 60 yards away, where the train was able to restart and resume its journey, he added.
The electric passenger train was traveling between Banahi and Rag hunathpur.
India has one the world’s largest railway networks, which carries more than 14 million passengers daily, but railway stations and tracks are often poorly maintained, resulting in accidents and a poor safety record.
