Being overseas, I had no idea what this operation lifesaver was about. I looked it up on the internet and for anyone else in the dark, it is about rail and road crossing safety.

When in India, we passed a couple of Medical Operation trains, these are set up as mobile operating theatres, and treat eye problems, etc, when they roll into town..
