The runaway passenger train speeds through stations in eastern India, Saturday.

 

 

New Delhi (CNN)  A disaster was narrowly averted in eastern India after a runaway train carrying up to 1,000 passengers rolled with speed for several miles before being brought to an emergency stop by railway staff.

 
Video on social media shows the train, which was traveling Saturday evening from the western state of Gujarat to Odisha state in the east, speeding past stations as onlookers and passengers scream helplessly.
 
The train was eventually stopped after railway workers placed wooden wedges on the tracks, bringing it to a crunching halt.
