A freight train in northern India rolled unmanned for about 45 miles, reaching speeds up to 46 mph, captured in a viral video. No injuries occurred as emergency brakes and track stones halted the train's journey from Kathua to Hoshiarpur. The pilot and assistant left for unknown reasons, leading to the unmanned ride. Gravity-assisted diversion onto an uphill path aided in stopping. Four suspended, high-level inquiry underway at Kathua Railway Station. India's vast rail network, over 160 years old, faces occasional incidents. Last June, a deadly collision in Odisha claimed 275 lives.
