The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A camel got stuck between the railway tracks on the Wansjaliya-Ranavav section in Gujarat, right on the path of the Saurashtra Express (train 19015) travelling from Dadar to Porbandar.
- The loco pilot spotted the animal from a distance, applied emergency brakes, and stopped the train just short of it.
- He then contacted the local administration and rescue teams, and a JCB was brought in to carefully pull the camel out with ropes.
- The rescue succeeded without further injury to the animal, and the train resumed its journey; Indian Railways shared the video, which has drawn praise for the pilot.
What to watch next
- Whether Indian Railways shares follow-up details on the camel's condition
- Any railway action on preventing animal straying onto tracks in that section
