Have you ever Push the TRAIN ??

In third world its daily routine to push the cars early in the morning, most of the time it happens with you when you are ready to go to office or in other hurry and when you leave the home, you just see your neighbour struggling with his car to start it and as soon as he sees you he calls you that please come here and push the car so he can start it, you have no choice other than to say yes, because its your neighbour and its your moral duty to help the neighbours in problem, so you put your bag on the road and give him fake smile and start pushing the car and if you are lucky enough you get help from school going kids who feel very happy to participate in this daily exercise, if the matter is only with car, than its fine, but think about this that if you are sitting in the train and train suddenly stop and the driver ask you to push the train, than what you will do ? its happened in India in the state of Bihar when one passenger pulled the emergency chord and the train stop but when driver again start the train, it refused to go ahead because its stop in the neutral-zone (a small section where there is no electrical current) and so train cant be start.Normally trains have enough momentum to pass through this zone without power but in this case train stop exact in the neutral zone, so the driver ask the passengers to get out from the train and push it remaining 12 feet so it can reach the power zone.The train took half an hour to travel on these 12 feet.
