This is the continuation of the journey video to attend my friend's wedding, in Nellore. In the first part I covered the overnight journey from Bengaluru to Chennai, including my feelings about stepping into a train after 20months. The journey was on board the 12692 SSPN - Chennai Central weekly Express, which was running as 06074 Special then.

Woman ALMOST gets Hit by TRAIN : Indian Railways
click here
Careless woman who appears to be cleaning railroad ballast almost gets hit by a speeding Train in India!!
Despite constant honking by the Loco pilots and people warning her to get off the tracks at 0:32, this woman took no notice of anything and continued to put her own life at risk.

Look how she got blown back away from the train at 0:38 by the air it displaced as it passed her. Just inches away from getting hit!
To makes matters worse, she was also facing the other direction crouching dangerously close to the fast approaching train. Every year, hundreds of track workers get killed this way underestimating the brute force of trains!
