"Jayan told me that a large crowd had gathered at the site," said Rini.
She is no longer able to access Jayan as his mobile battery has died down.
Jayan's friend Krishna said they were now trying to move towards Nashik so that they can continue their onward journey.
At least four passengers were killed and 50 injured as four bogies of the Nizamuddin (Delhi)-Ernakulam Mangala Express derailed early Friday, officials said.
The accident took place around 6.30 a.m. in the ghat (hilly, winding) section of Nashik between Ghoti and Igatpuri stations on the Central Railway route.
