The passengers of a Kolkata local train had a providential escape when the EMU train they were travelling in grazed past another train on Wednesday afternoon at the entry point of the Sealdah station supposedly the busiest train terminus in the country.
The accident that led to no injuries resulted in the entire train services from Sealdah North station getting choked for several hours, Railway authorities said.
The accident occurred when the driver of one of the EMU trains bound for the car-shed overshot the signal by a few metres and stopped barely a couple of feet ahead of a level junction of two tracks.
