Pune Shatabdi storms through Vidyavihar (Jan. 2000)

As morning descended on Vidyavihar station, the WCAM3-hauled Shatabdi Express came in from Mumbai and sped past us with a fleet of ten coaches. This was the catch of the day!

@ganesan191

Well, a fast moving train develops high air pressure at the front and a lower pressure on either sides. There is a vortex formation at the front of the train engine. So, if a person is standing very close to a train, due to this vortex, high pressure develops behind the person while vaccuum is develops at his front. In other words, the train apparently tries to suck the person. If the person tends to lose his balance, he is certain to fall.

@ganesan191 Again, it depends on how to the platform's edge you are standing :-)
