Indian runaway train takes 70-kilometre journey

Around 50 carriages set off solo, careering from the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab, before being brought to a halt by wooden blocks placed on the tracks on Sunday.

A metro train is moving through the fog on a winter morning in Kolkata, India, on December 24, 2023. Indian Railways said on Monday it had ordered an investigation after a runaway freight train loaded with gravel travelled 70 kilometres without a driver. AFP
