Aman Desai answered

Explanation:

Train stopped the first time because of the herd of the buffaloes.

- Herd of Buffaloes: The train stopped because there was a herd of buffaloes crossing the tracks. This is a common occurrence in areas where trains pass through agricultural lands or rural areas where animals roam freely.

- Safety Concerns: Trains are required to stop when there is any obstruction on the tracks to avoid accidents. Buffaloes or any other animals on the tracks pose a serious safety risk to both the passengers on the train and the animals themselves.

- Precautionary Measure: The train must stop until the buffaloes have safely crossed the tracks to prevent any harm to the animals and avoid any damage to the train or the tracks.

- Resuming the Journey: Once the buffaloes have cleared the tracks and it is safe to do so, the train can proceed on its journey. The train driver will ensure that the tracks are clear before continuing the journey to the next station.

- Common Occurrence: While it may cause delays for passengers, stopping for animals on the tracks is a necessary precaution to ensure the safety of everyone involved. It is important for trains to be vigilant and prepared for such situations during their journey.
