Alert pilots of a train stopped the engine to facilitate an elephant crossing the tracks in eastern India's West Bengal.

The incident took place on a railway track between Nagrakata and Chalsa on May 29.

Visuals showed an elephant crossing the railway track and getting into the dense forest. The pachyderm had strayed into the tracks from the nearby forest. Fortunately, it did not take long for the jumbo to cross the tracks, as the pilots waited patiently, to avoid a man-animal conflict.
