At around 10:30 am on a random Tuesday morning, a fast local train heading towards Kalyan had a little run-in with a stray cattle near Mumbra railway station. The poor animal didn’t stand a chance and met its immediate demise due to the impact of the collision. The force of the crash was so intense that the carcass got stuck in the train’s wheels, causing a major ruckus in the rail services.
The incident led to a chaotic disruption, with the buffalo’s remains causing the train to screech to a halt near Thane station. This unexpected stoppage caused delays in the train schedule, affecting the movement of several other trains on the route. To deal with the aftermath, all the fast trains traveling between Thane and Kalyan were redirected to the down slow line, leading to a massive traffic jam and endless waiting for the daily commuters.
The authorities are frantically working to clear up the mess on the track and get things back to normal as soon as possible. In the meantime, passengers are left twiddling their thumbs and staring at the clock, hoping for a swift resolution to this unexpected bovine encounter. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s quite a scene when a simple collision with a stray cattle can throw an entire train schedule into disarray. Let’s hope they can moo-ve things along quickly and get back on track without any udder delays.
