A Train Accident you experienced
(Points: Misty morning - driver could not see the signal - collided
with a stationary wagon - rear part of the train damaged - engine
derailed-injured people - rescue operation.)
It was a cold misty morning when I was travelling to Burdwan by a local train.
The train was nearing Bandel Junction slowly. The distant signal post was on a
curve. The driver perhaps could not see the red signal in the early morning
mist. Suddenly he saw a local train standing on the same track. He applied the
break immediately, but it was too late. The engine dashed against the rear of
the stationary train. The three compartments adjoining our engine were
derailed. I was at the tail end of the train and felt a sudden jerk very
heavily. All these happened in a twinkling of an eye. Words cannot describe
what I saw when I got down. The guard and engine driver were lying in a pool
of blood. The heart rending cries of the wounded passengers filled the air.
The entire scene bore signs of utter distress and confusion. The unhurt
passengers got down and started the rescue operation. I also joined them. Soon
with the help of the local people, the wounded persons were taken to a nearby
hospital. The police and railway officials were late to arrive. After about
two hours I walked to the nearest railway station thoroughly exhausted, and
caught a train back to Kolkata.
