NEW DELHI, April 16: The driver of the first fire tender that was making its way to the Holambi Kalan station reached a railway crossing and then didn't quite know how to get to the burning train. The person manning the railway crossing gave him directions that would get him closest to the station, but not right in. The route was through a field. The fire tenders decided to drive over the tracks.For a station that sees 13 EMUs, 62 passenger trains and 20-odd goods train chug past every day, Holambi Kalan has just one access point which cuts through the fields. The narrow tract that leads to the station is 250 metre from the road that goes through Holambi Kalan village. The railway crossing from where the fire tenders drove in is around half-a-kilometre from the platform. Station master Banwari Lal said: ``Passengers lug their baggage through the fields and then cross the tracks to get to this side of the station''.
