The loco pilot SK Pradhan and assistant loco pilot Ravi Kumar were at the helm of the train who immediately brought the train to a halt and managed to pull the senior citizen out safely with the help of other rail staff

Swift action by a railway staff saved a life of a senior citizen who was crossing rail tracks at Kalyan station on Sunday afternoon. The visibly shaken senior citizen escaped without any major injuries.

"We were working on the rail tracks for routine maintenance when we saw an old man crossing the tracks same time as the 02193 Mumbai-Varanasi train departing from the platform. It happened in a split second and I just shouted out to the loco pilots of the train, that was just beginning to gather momentum," said Chief Permanent Way Inspector (CPWI) Santosh Kumar, who was at the site.

The loco pilot SK Pradhan and assistant loco pilot Ravi Kumar immediately applied brakes and brought the train to a halt. They managed to pull the senior citizen out safely with the help of other rail staff.

Can't say that they are well paid too... Now a days the cabs are made AC also..

Even many engineers opt for the job..
