JANAKPURDHAM, Aug. 6: It may sound astounding when you hear that a train engine navigates 29-kilometer distance alone- without the driver, passengers and compartments.



Of course, the Janakpur people saw it real on Monday. The train was ready to leave for Janakpur, Nepal from Jayanagar, India at 3:40pm but only the train engine made to its destination. [break]The driver, passengers and compartments literally missed the train.



Yes, it happened as the train driver started the engine and got off the train after removing air from it. At the same time, the engine started automatically, accelerated and ran for the destination.



The train engine which crossed the distance at the speed of 50 km per hour stopped at the Janakpur Railway Station.



The speedy engine with the number of 535 ZDM 5 came on track No. 1.



However, the cautions made on time prevented human loss.



As the engine arrived Janakpur Station, the engine swerved and plunged towards number track No. 3 but a ditch made on track No 2 and a bridge prevented it making forward jolt.



Similarly, the train ready to leave for Jaynagar and the passengers at the Station were removed from there.



However, officiating Managing Director Rameshwor Yadav said he was not fully aware about the wonder.



Main driver of the train Raphid Kawadi said over telephone that the engine started automatically when he was preparing to fill the engine with mobil by removing the air inside it.
