Indian train driver forced to shelter under umbrella

A train driver in India was recently filmed sheltering under an umbrella while driving his train through torrential rain.

The cameraman said he wanted to draw attention to the ramshackle state of India’s trains.

"Everyone talks about railway safety, but should train operators drive trains or try to stay dry?" one passenger asked.

The popular Hindi newspaper Punjab Kesari said the video had been shot on a train from Jharkhand in East India.
