Indian Railways conducted a trial run for the first Vande Bharat train operating between Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra railway station and Srinagar railway station. The route passes through the iconic Anji Khad bridge, India’s first cable-stayed railway bridge, and the Chenab bridge, the world’s highest railway bridge. While designing the train, climate adaptability has also been taken into consideration, keeping in mind the comfort of passengers when travelling in the cold climatic conditions of the valley. The train can operate at a temperature as low as -30 degrees Celsius. The chair car train boasts advanced heating systems to keep water from freezing and bio-toilet tanks.This trial run of the Vande Bharat train on the world’s highest rail bridge has garnered the interest of the whole country due to the Vande Bharat trains’ improved features, including safety features like Kavach technology and state-of-the-art amenities.
Meanwhile, a video showing three high-speed trains crossing each other at a railway junction without affecting each other is going viral on social media with the claim that it shows three Vande Bharat trains crossing each other. The captions applaud Indian Railways’ advanced infrastructure, giving credit to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The caption on the video goes as: “3 Vande Bharat trains crossing each other, not possible in any other country. We're proud of our Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ji.”
Fact Check:
The claim is False. The video is a 3D animation and does not depict real trains.
When we extracted keyframes from the viral video and searched them using Google reverse image search, we found that the video was shared by several users across different countries and in various languages. We found that a YouTube channel shared the same video on May 30, 2025, with the caption ‘Train Vs Brain’.
Another YouTube channel shared the same video on June 2, 2025, where the description of the video clearly states that it is edited or synthetic media.
Here is the screenshot of the description of the video.
Another YouTube user shared the same video on June 2, 2025. This user also posted similar videos of unusual train crossings. Upon observation, the video was found to have a watermark: *l@lokomotifultra. A search for this handle led us to the YouTube channel:
The YouTube channel named lokomotifultra shared the same video on May 27, 2025, with the title in Indonesian: ‘3 Kerata Api Melintasi Rel Persilangan Kereta Api #keretaapi #train #railway #indianrailways #indian’. When translated to English, it reads: “3 Trains Crossing Railway Crossing”

We also found several videos showing 3D animated trains in various scenarios. Upon further search using the hashtags provided by the user, we found hashtags like #
simulasikereta, #
keretaapi, and #gamekeretaapi, which showcase simulator videos with 3D trains. These videos are animations created by users using train simulation software.
Therefore, the viral video does not show three Vande Bharat trains crossing each other at a junction without colliding. It is a simulation created using 3D train models. The claim is False.
