It's been two months since I left school and I've been home waiting for service call. While I was still schooling, I had my favourite form of transportation that I always use to return home and also go back to school... That is traveling by railway in a train. I enjoyed the comfortability and fast movement it gives even though there were a few complaint I had about it.
It was cheaper, faster, safer and more fun for me using the train that took me from school back home and vice versa but something happened recently that broke my heart.
Before I share the news, I'd like to share two pictures that shows when I was on a long queue waiting to get a train ticket. The queue was so long but it ended and I got to pay for a ticket. I was lucky to have a friend around so it wasn't boring to wait. waiting for the train took hours and we heard that it had an issue on it's way.
It finally arrived and we all got in and went to our different destinations. And that was it, I didn't think much on whatever delayed us back there... More like I didn't care since I got to my school safely that day. Well, what happened recently had me thinking and I realize that it didn't just start to build up now, there have been signs.
The Train had an accident!!!
Two days ago, a video went viral over here showing the train that I frequent badly destroyed. The whole story wasn't told in the video but I got the main thing that happened. It was said that the train rode way faster than it normally did and the front of the train ran back to hit the back of itself. Then, the train divided into four parts.
There were people inside but none of them were harmed. Instead, they were all stuck at the middle of nowhere, still wondering how they got out of the place from the video I saw, it was dangerous out there. And to think that, they also said, there were no securities around... That almost never happened before as there were always security inside the train.
Just for your imagination sake, I had to search for a picture I took with the train even though I couldn't get a full picture of it... This image shows a bit of the train. Imagine it dividing into four parts with each part having more than 50 persons in it. It was definitely a dangerous one and scary for those involved.
With the many stories I've heard about the train, I think the Government is going to make it stop working for now as it has threatened lives too many times. And that would make my traveling by railway be put to stop, even if that isn't done, I'd be too scared to go there again lol.
It's heartbreaking really because I enjoyed all the time I traveled using the train, I hope something better is done but for now, I'm glad I don't have to travel to school for the time being hehe.
