A very funny incident took place on 30th August morning while travelling to New Delhi by Shiv Ganga Express from Varanasi train no. 12559 leaving Varanasi on 29.08.2013 at 19.15. At around 6.45 AM on 30.8.13 the train has just crossed Ajaibpur near Dadri Ghaziabad when a milkman challenged the train and started crossing the track with his cycle and Balta full of 16 kg milk. He defied the speed of the train which was around 90 to 100 kmph and misjudged the distance. When the train reached him, he jumped out of the track and left his cycle and balta inbetween. Consequently once can imagine the cycle and balta hitting the engine and getting crushed. The driver applied emergency brakes. Fortunately the milkman was safe and he ran away. It took around 1 hours to clear the debris of the contents. The whole main line was blocked. The train was...
