BHOPAL: More than 30 bus passengers had a narrow escape late Tuesday night when a gateman at a railway crossing in Madhya Pradesh 's Ashok Nagar district allegedly dozed off without closing the gates.
Two trains approached on parallel tracks from both ends just as the bus was passing through the railway crossing. Both loco pilots and the bus driver slammed the brakes, averting a tragedy. Witnesses said the bus had driven on to the tracks when he saw the train headlights bearing down on it from both sides. He swiftly put the bus in reverse as both trains came to stop.
