Wild elephant crosses railway track in West Bengal | Image courtesy: Alipurduar Divisional Railway Manager
Alert train drivers in West Bengal halted a train with perfect timing for a wild elephant to cross the rail route track securely. A video shot from inside the train shows how the drivers applied brakes the second they recognized an elephant up ahead.
In any case, it isn’t clear at first assuming there’s a pachyderm crossing as the enormous well evolved creature just seems like an earthy colored mass. This demonstrates how cautious the administrators of the train were.
The video was shared to Twitter by the authority record of the Divisional Railway Manager of Alipurduar division of the Northeast Frontier Railway, who stated “#Alert LP and ALP of 15767 Up SGUJ-APDJ Intercity Exp Sri R.R. Kumar and S. Kundu out of nowhere seen one Wild Elephant crossing the track at KM 23/1 between Gulma-Sivok at 17.35 hrs yesterday and applied brake to control Train speed saving Wildlife.”
