The Chapramari Forest lies in the eastern area of India.1.But a large group of elephants found still-green grasses along the railway line that crosses through the forest. As the elephants got near and on the tracks at dusk, a passenger train traveling at 50mph knocked into the herd. Seven elephants were killed, and 10injured.
2.The deaths occur at hotspots in a few Indian states where trains intersect (交叉) with elephant habitats. It's puzzling why this highly intelligent animal would wait on the tracks3..
After a collision this past April in Odisha state that killed four elephants, Indian Railways lowered speed limits to as low as 18mph in several areas in the country's east4.Beginning late last year, railways officials in the east have fixed a kind of equipment s that loudly broadcast the buzz of honeybees, a sound they hope keeps elephants away for fear of the insects. In the northern state of Uttarakhand, the forest department is using drones (遥控飞机) to keep track of animal movement.5.
More permanent solutions include constructing overpasses or underpasses as safe crossing points for the elephants, elevating the railway track, or getting the track away from sensitive areas.
A. because they are attracted by the green grass.
B. Still, three elephants were killed in train accidents in that state since February.
C. Much of the plants here dries up in winter.
D. And the measures they take are working wonders.

F. when it can feel the train's movement.
G. But train conductors often break speed regulations.
