Faridabad, Mar 14 (PTI) A reversing goods train overshot the dead end of its track and rammed into its stopper and a wall beyond it in Old Faridabad railway station, damaging a couple of vehicles in the parking lot across the wall, an official said.
A railwayman standing behind the train to guide its reversal miraculously escaped unhurt in the incident which occurred on Monday evening, Station superintendent AK Goyal said.
