Horsepower or Manpower? This Happens Only In India

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

BBC site reported one of the most funny news once can every find. And it has to happen all in the state of Bihar. The very state whose Chief Minister is the Railway Minister of India.

An Indian train driver came up with an original idea when the train he was driving broke down unexpectedly.

Rather than face the prospect of scores of frustrated passengers launching a chorus of complaints, the driver instead asked them to get out and push.

Many chose to get out of their seats and do just that, officials say.

It took them more than half an hour to move the electric train 12ft (4m) so that it touched live overhead wires and was able to resume its journey.

Momentum

“In so many years of service in the railways, I have never come across such a bizarre incident,” Deepak Kumar Jha, a spokesman for Indian Railways, told the Reuters news agency.

Officials say the extraordinary display of passenger power occurred on Tuesday in the eastern state of Bihar after a passenger pulled the train’s emergency chain, bringing it to a halt in a “neutral zone”.

This is a short length of track where there is no power in the overhead wires.

Correspondents say that a train’s momentum usually allows it to continue moving through neutral zones.
