Whenever a train starts one of the two loco pilots have to send and receive 'All is Clear and Ok to proceed' message with the guard of the train. This is done by waving the green flag during the day, and by exchanging green lights at night. Therefore they would have been looking back.

Also add to that the pop culture in Indian good law abiding people are projected like some mindless zombies whereas taporis, chapris, goons and even terrorists are projected as...

Whatever happened could turn into another disaster. Even if JYG Exp was slow but Shatabdi would be cruising 110-130. Any idea whether the LP/ALP were newly posted? As they don't know about crossings how?
