it would have been a dramatic crash, a very heavy slow moving freight train and an accelerating passenger train. Luckily the train had very few passengers, maybe 2 dozen

once we knew what happened we were all grateful to the driver and happy we were safe

in the train, immediately after the event , when we were safe, an announcement was made over intercom that the train was diverted , but no reason was given at that time

once we were stopped at the next station and debarked the driver came out onto the platform talked to passengers in person
