trainPassengers of Ernakulam-Hazzrat Nizamuddin Duronto Express thanked the duo after the train was stopped at Panjirel between Mangaluru Junction and Thokur (Surathkal) station.

It was Moses, an elderly man, who noticed a broken railway track around 7.45 am while crossing it to reach his property located on the other side of the track.

He immediately came back and informed his neighbour Harshith, who rushed to the spot, ran back home, grabbed a red T-shirt and ran towards Mangaluru Junction on the track.

When he noticed an oncoming train, he waved the T-shirt and the loco pilot stopped the train.

26-year-old Harshith said that he was sleeping when he was woken up and told about the broken track. Sensing trouble, he rushed to the spot and managed to avert an accident.

The officials concerned were informed and the gangmen arrived at the spot and clamped the track. Southern Railway PRO M?K?Gopinath said the train was held up for 30 minutes between 8.05 am and 8.35 am.
