Such documentaries are an occasion for the Fellow Indians to watch, as it exhibits the pious lives and life of servitude of the kind-hearted Indian people, who were raised up in villages with the strict spiritual, disciplinary values taught to them by their Mother and Father and their forefathers and their Teachers in the Schools(both Convent and Vernacular medium). All thanks is due to 'The Lord Almighty' for raising up my beautiful fellow Indian Brothers🙋♂️ and Sisters🙋♀️ and also gifting Us with beautiful Nature and Monsoon, Spring, Autumn and different cultures and traditions.
I LOVE LOVE this documentary. I have never been to India but I know how important trains are for India, and monsoons. I hope I will visit this interesting, fascinating country one day. I don't mind heat, and bad conditions, I still want to experience it.
Thanks you for posting these two. My folks from both sides of the family were railway folks , from when it was the Bengal Nagpur Railway ( BNR) to Indian railways. Now some my cousins are still there while the rest of us are in the USA, Australia, Canada and the UK. Been all over India and lived my school days in Kurseong on the DHR..(Toy Train)
I was in Kharagpur from 1958-1962, when I was in IIT - I used to attend the Union Church on 4th Avenue - there was a Mr & Mrs Green who used to attend the same church with their two daughters (one was called Gillian, cant remember the name of the other daughter ). Are you by any chance related to the Greens. I think he was a senior engineer in the Rly workshop.
@@peterchan3100 The truth could be I am but I cannot say so for sure. I know of Greens from Chakaradapur{ CKP} to who I am related from my Dad's side. There were also Tucker's ,Davids's and Van Haeftans I am related to from KGP. Lots of crosspollination took place. My eldest son has our DNA tree and its an interesting list of the p;aces wheere each relative was born in and where they eventually passed away. My Dad was born in Lahore. before partition . he passsed away in Kurseong. WB

Indian Railways is one of the most authentic sight of India. It is a great honour to see my beloved City KOLKATA on this video. It is such a lovely city to be discovered.

Doston Mujhe rail se bahut pyar hai yah program main bhi kam se kam 50 Baar dekh chuka hun meri ek ichcha Hai Shayad Koi Puri kar de malgadi ke guard room mein main Lamba Safar karna chahta hun I love Railway gaadi Bula rahi hai Seeti Baja rahi hai Chalna hi Jindagi hai Chalti hi ja rahi hai
Idean Railways journey it is amazing really I enjoyed a lots since, 1991, 1992, from New Dehli towards to udaipur city, relax, safety and incredible cant describe in words, best Railways systems fantastic, indeed.
A railway detonator (torpedo in North America) is a coin-sized device that is used to make a loud sound as a warning signal to train drivers. It is placed on the top of the rail, usually secured with two lead straps, one on each side. When the wheel of the train passes over, it explodes emitting a loud bang alerting the driver of a hazard ahead.
Railways has come a long way in these 20 years yet as prosperity comes to the society I find travelling on road and in air becoming more tempting than the train.
As you should! Traveling by air is most convenient if you need to get somewhere sooner than later. I live in the US and have traveled by air often. But there are times that where I am going is close to a railway station and I travel by rail as often as I can if that is the case. I love the trains, the people, the camaraderie and taking in the countryside as we go. You do have to watch people in the stations and on the train to make sure people are on good behavior, but for the most part, I really enjoy traveling by rail.
They are always hiring.. Either through direct recruitment to Railway Ministry or via Public Enterprise companies (e.g. Konkan Railways or Delhi Metro Railway Corp.) or via the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission )
IN THE LAST OF THE DOCUMENTARY THE SONG " KALO KALO MEGHER AKASH BHALO LAGE OGO SOKHI" SWEET AND NICE. I WANA LISTEN IT FULL BUT I DIDNOT FIND IT ALTHOUGH I SEARCH A LOT.
+Maloy7800 Spread across a much vaster network in a country with less extreme weather conditions. India has a smaller network, along with a much higher population density, meaning that it hauls more people per train than China ever has. This along with the fact that we have a harsher terrain (the Deccan Plateau) and the peninsular India receives strong tropical rainfall and winds. Japan too, used with a greater density and passenger haul.
To see India in it's glory and in it's problems you have to take a train journey. There is no country in the road that is so well and economically connected as India is with it's vast railway network. Even the United States. It's amazing that in an otherwise chaotic nation, the railways even function. And today it's so much better than 20 or 30 years ago when 5 or 6 or 10 hours late was the norm. JACKSON, Mississippi.
hey figeer1, sorry for the late reply, the song u r talking of is a Bengali one, "kaalo kaalo megher aakash..", literally meaning "dark skies with monsoon clouds":, and its a custom song for this documentary. the other song which is right in the starting is a folk song regarding monsoons. And there is one song which the CPRO , ER hums in the documentary, "Gaadi bula rahi hai, seeti baja rahi hai", from the Indian movie Dost(1974). Hope this answers ur query. -Z
Damn, i was really hoping this was going to be another Bernard Hill documentary like Indian Hill Railways/Bombay Railway etc. Still interesting stuff though
What is the song in the title? I have no idea what she is singing about but her melancholic voice and the acapella really captures the essence of Indian monsoon to me.
@@helloworld.w6075 Hi, there have been a number of television series on the BBC, I have watched them several times when they were repeated. The Indian Hill Railways being the most memorable. I enjoy just about anything about trains from all around the World as I find them, but the age of steam is very nostalgic to me. As you may well know there are many heritage private railways around the UK, there is one with easy access for me, which is the Ffestiniog And Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, mostly run by volunteers even from the original refurbishment of the old closed railway line in 1973, they moved heaven and earth to make it the success it is today. In what part of the world do you live?
The British they don’t tell you Haw-many wealth they stolen from India but they want tell Haw many good things they did for India this rail way they did it for British company to transport Indian wealth smoothly not for India people to get easy transportation
This is another BBC documentary showing how British built railways though they sucked so many lives and money from Indian farmers and landlord to build this railway for colonial purposes. Bengal famine caused by British is a genocide that no one remembers. 6 million people died in the bengal famine
@@shanetonkin2850 ofcourse not but the way it was artificially created by british gov and extra ration was forcibly stored keeping millions of common people literally starving.....yes its never a genocide. Because .its nothing less than a cold blooded mass murder...!!
@@shanetonkin2850 , it was a Genocide. India is subcontinent equal to size of Europe. Famine hit bengal, not whole India. Supplies from Australia never arrived, it's not far. Churchill, the Racist, diverted all supplies to War front saying - Be@stIy pe0pIe, with be@stIy reIig!0n. Food supply would mean nothing for lndi@ns, for they b®eed like ®abb!ts. When some Bengal officer written to him that people are dying on streets, Churchill said - Why hasn't Gandhi d....ed yet. It was an artificial famine created by a hateful Racist Hypocrite. Those who deny it are people with Genocidal tendencies that equals them with Hitler.
This is not just a documentary, it is also art! Thanks so much for loading it to CZcams, friendly greetings, Soeren

Some old golden days of Indian railways, icf coaches alco locomotive

Now, the longest platform in the world is Hubli in Karnataka, second largest is Gorakhpur and Kharagpur comes at 3rd position.
They are always hiring..
Either through direct recruitment to Railway Ministry or via Public Enterprise companies (e.g. Konkan Railways or Delhi Metro Railway Corp.) or via the UPSC (Union Public Service Commission )

Thanx for recommendation!
kharagpur railway station where Captain Cool MS Dhoni started as ticket collector !
When ever you travel Indian Railways always late but in papers it's accuracy of 98percent
It's the paperworks accuracy not the train itself..
BUTYFULL
When the British tried to force the Indians to modernize, they told the British that it would put too many people out of work... gotta love that!
It's similar to dying cold industry of usa. Old jobs die but new jibs takes its place.
IN THE LAST OF THE DOCUMENTARY THE SONG " KALO KALO MEGHER AKASH BHALO LAGE OGO SOKHI" SWEET AND NICE. I WANA LISTEN IT FULL BUT I DIDNOT FIND IT ALTHOUGH I SEARCH A LOT.
Did you find it now?
I want this song plz..
I am always fascinated by the indian railways, so full of character.

What is the gauge of this railway? Also, are train guards what other railways call conductors?
British didnt laid railways for india's good. rather to serve their own cause of freight transport.
