WATCH: In Odisha, a runaway train takes passengers on engine-less journey

As the engine-less train with the clueless passengers speeds past a railway station, the helpless onlookers screams and yell their guts out as they try to catch the commuters attention and get them to pull the train’s emergency brake.

The engine-less train moved towards Kesinga in Kalahandi district from Titlagard station so that the engine could be shunted on the other side, but thanks to a downward slope, the coaches rolled on without the engines.

According to railway sources, the coaches started moving around 10 pm and had covered a distance of almost 10 kilometer without the engine before they were brought to a halt.

Fire breaks out inside McKeesport home

A fire broke out inside a house in McKeesport Sunday morning.

Fire officials said the location of the flames actually helped firefighters control the blaze. The flames went through the roof and were easier to identify, which made containing it less difficult, according to Don Sable, deputy fire chief.

Fire officials told Channel 11 there is extensive damage to the top floor of the home.

No one was injured in the fire, and it is unclear how the fire started.

The Fire Marshal is investigating the incident.
