In the footage one can see the lone elephant coming very close to the railway tracks. The moment the loco pilots, R.R. Kumar and S. Kundu saw the creature they used the emergency brakes bringing the train to a halt and saving the jumbo from being hit by the train and getting injured gravely.</p>

Earlier too a similar incident like this had taken place between Nagrakata-Chalsa, in Jalpaiguri district in North Bengal when a wild elephant was saved due to timely braking by the loco pilots.</p>
