The incident was reported at Ezhukon of Kollam district on Saturday. In an inebriated state, Reji fell asleep on the railway track. Around 6:00 PM the Kollam - Punalur Memu reached ESIC Hospital and spotted Reji sleeping on the tracks, Asianet said in a report. According to the loco pilot, he was resting his head on the line as he slept.
Since the train was coming at a slow pace, the loco pilot managed to stop it before removing Reji from the tracks along with a group of passengers, the Malayalam media said. The drunk man was soon handed over to the Ezhukone police.
A similar incident was reported in the region earlier this month as well when the loco pilot of a train claimed to have seen a dead body on the tracks. However, when the police inspected the area, it was learnt that it wasn't a dead body that the loco pilot spotted, but a man who had passed out on the tracks. He was booked by the Indian Railway, the news report added. No doubt both of them can thank their stars.
