Railway Station Master
Your shift at a B-category station on the Delhi Division begins with signing the Train Signal Register, verifying block instruments are in normal condition, and issuing a Line Clear to the Outer Signal after confirming the arrival line is clear. You manage 40 train movements during your 8-hour shift — coordinating with the Guard and Loco Pilot at each start — while simultaneously handling a passenger stampede on Platform 2 during a delayed express train's arrival.
