A train driver on Thursday had to risk his life to reset the alarm chain trigger on the coach of the Kurla LTT-Chhapra Godan Express due to which it stopped in the middle of a bridge between Titwala and Khadavli stations.

“Some miscreants pulled the alarm chain and stopped the express train on Kalu River bridge between Titwala and Khadavli. To run the train again, it was mandatory to reset the knob of the second last coach of the train, where the alarm chain was pulled. After assessing the situation, senior assistant loco pilot, Sathish Kumar risked his life and crawled under the train over the River Bridge to reset the alarm chain,” Central Railway chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said.
