A disturbing scene inside the locomotive pilot cabin of an Indian train has been caught on video circulating on social media: rainwater pouring in like a waterfall, forcing the driver to shield himself with an umbrella. Shared by Sachin Gupta, a social media user, the video portrays operational challenges within the railways, having implications for safety and service reliability.
A video is going viral showing water dripping into the train’s pilot cabin. In this, the driver runs the control with one hand and saves himself from the rain with an umbrella. Gupta’s post underlines concerns about railway infrastructure and operational standards.
वाटरफॉल का ये नजारा ट्रेन के लोको पायलट केबिन का है। पायलट एक हाथ से छतरी पकड़े है, दूसरे हाथ से ट्रेन चला रहे।
ड्राइवर का फेस इसलिए नहीं दिखाया, क्योंकि रेलवे सबसे पहले उसको सस्पेंड करेगा। न ही ट्रेन नंबर बताया जाएगा। VIDEO व्यवस्था दिखाने को बनाई है।

Social media is critical in response. Netizens expressed shock over the conditions faced by railway staff and passengers alike. Comments ranged from questions about the state of infrastructure to sarcastic remarks regarding official responses.
According to an inquiry, poorly fixed rail tracks have been cited as the reason for the accident of the Chandigarh-Dibrugarh Express. Though this has been cited as the reason by the inquiry committee, more than half of the members of the panel have openly disagreed with the findings. Hasty conclusions by railway officials only confused the matter further.
The incidents underline the challenges that Indian Railways has to maintain safety and efficiency throughout its vast network. In essence, what is driven home by the leaked video and the derailment investigation is the need for a robust system of infrastructure maintenance and transparent communication with the public. As discussions continue, it is concrete actions that passengers and stakeholders now await to redress these concerns.
