Am waiting at Koparkhairane station for quite some time now but no train has arrived from Thane yet. Don't know the reason yet.
Accident on NCR railway tracks
12 people, including a 2-year old child, lost their lives on NCR railway tracks in NCR on Tuesday, 3rd November 2009. Six people died while crossing the tracks while 6 gangmen were run over by a goods train barely 12 hours after the first incident. Read the Times of India report here.
3 Train-related accidents in India in one day, what’s with number 12 today?
Few minutes ago, I wrote about the Gandhidham Bangalore Express derailment at Mumbai’s Dombivli. As many as 12 coaches of the train had derailed. And as I searched the internet for updates on the same, I came across this Times of India report of 12 people losing their lives on railway tracks in NCR in two incidents separated by 12 hours.
Of course, in the second case the people who were crossing the tracks did the wrong thing, but still the locals then beat up railway staffers (as if crossing tracks is allowed). True that I am not from that area so I don’t know if people have some other option to reach on the other side of the tracks. Am sure if the motormen could have stopped the train running at that speed, they would have done so.
I urge again – Please do not cross railway tracks.

Obscene graffiti and phone numbers in local trains
Boarding a ladies compartment (am unsure about the gents compartments)
in local trains and finding obscene messages, drawings or phone
numbers with names scribbled on the seats and walls is a reality.
Almost all of us end up looking away and ignoring them. Little do we
realize that the number might belong to an innocent person, someone
among us and might become the cause of great embarrassment and
inconvenience.

After reading the story (Mumbai Mirror 29th October
2009) about the girl whose phone number and name were given away, I
believe that it's about time we act. The next time you see a message
or obscene graffiti or phone numbers scribbled in the local trains,
kindly bring it to the notice of the railway authorities. This is the
least we can do to make our daily mode of transport a better place.
