Tough Trains

India's Independence Railroads (1x4)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 07, 2014

India is famous for its extensive British built railway system, but riding a train here is anything but British. India’s 40,000 miles of railway track cut through some of the most densely populated cities, in the nation of 1.2 billion people. At least 1,000 people die when they fall from crowded coaches, when trains collide or coaches derail. But this is festival season. Trains are overcrowded, even by India’s standards and timetables are met with distrust. We travel across northern India, crossing from Nepal and heading west to the border with Pakistan.
