Chandigarh, March 6
We all have fond memories related to train journeys. While waiting for the train at the railway station, we observe a lot of things which remain stuck in our minds. One such memory, which often left us scratching our heads, was the X symbol behind the last coach of the train.
We would often wonder as to what it signified, with no clear answers to our query.
Well, the Railways Ministry has finally resolved our problem and explained in a Twitter post the meaning of the same and many users were relieved to finally find an answer.
The post was shared by the Railways Ministry recently. According to it, the X symbol behind the last coach of a train signifies that the train has passed without leaving any coaches behind. The sign also acts as a confirmation for railway officials that the train has passed entirely.
