Hi Shed Cat I read this bit about the incident.
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.
