Motorman averts collision as 2 trains occupy CSMT track
India
A close call at Mumbai's CSMT on April 21: two local trains accidentally ended up on the same track when one was sent to an already occupied platform.
Thankfully, the motorman noticed a red signal and stopped in time, leaving over 120 meters of safe distance and preventing a crash.
Central Railway calls lapse, stationmaster suspended
Central Railway says it was a quick mistake, a "momentary lapse in situational awareness."
But safety systems like Interlocking and AWS kicked in, alerting the crew and keeping everyone out of harm's way.
Services on several platforms paused briefly but got back to normal soon after.
The stationmaster has been suspended while an inquiry is underway, with officials reminding everyone that technology is great but human attention still matters.
