It is obvious that the train rammed behind the stationary train at a station. This must be due to the non-observance of rule 3.38 -setting of points against occupied line. We should educate the importance of this rule to all so that SMs will not be trapped for the carelessness of the drivers.
There is no mention of Guard, Whether he is alive or not, If alive what was he doing in that case ?
