Fact Check
DFRAC conducted research to investigate the truthfulness of the video. It was confirmed that the video is FAKE. The viral video is rather animated. Firstly, we did a reverse image search on google and tried to find more details on the video. We found no such video being posted on any official railway website and not any media report for the same
After taking a closer look at the video a signboard was noticed, which had something written over it. The text of the board was later translated on Google translate. We found that the text means “Dangerous Path” in Indonesian. By which it is clear that the source of the video is Indonesia.
This is not the first time that such animated videos have been made by Indonesia. Previously also similar videos showcasing the perfect timing of trains and trains dangerously crossing each other at the railway line have been posted on different social media platforms.
DFRAC has also identified such videos before as well. Another animated video was being referred to as Vande Bharat trains in India, the fact check can be read here.
Conclusion
Hence, it has been confirmed that the video is animated. It was created in Indonesia and has no relevance to reality.
