Train stuck in a flood?

guerik

I caught the end of an item on the news last night - a train had been caught in a flood in India and the passengers were stranded on board. Does anyone know where this is? It seemed to be in a Hindi-speaking area but other than that I have no idea.
I've had a poke around on news sites this morning and couldn't find it so any info would be great.

It was in Gujarat. Details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4645801.stm

BBC reported yesterday that all of them were rescued.

I just read that bbc report, and dont get me wrong, i love the beeb darling, but:

One of the sub headings in the report about the fact that a train and pretty much an entire state has been flooded is "Transport affected"......... you dont say! everywhere is flooded and transport affected? wow.

it was made possible by one of the lady passengers - she requested all passengers not to use their cellphones at a time to summon aid, she said 'let us use one by one so that the batteries do not pack up all at a time and we get sufficient time to continue contacting outsiders for assistance'.

finally, her husband took the challenge upon himself and effected the rescue even as the administration and the disaster management group looked on.
