Olympus Mju 770SW

Train driver asks passengers to get out and push

Similar experience

I had similar experience back in Ukraine when going on a trolleybus (electric powered bus). Its pantograph got unwired in a 'neutral zone' in a middle of intersection.

Small effort from 10 people and we were ‘on the road’ again.
