The guard blows his whistle and waves his flag, the driver acknowledges and lets out a toot and there is a mad scramble to get inside the coaches. Complete with mangy dogs, this typical and rural scene on the Indian Railways is repeated across thousands of stations every single day.

    Yea, the train looks like something out of a 1940s movie. Or something. Where was this anyway?

    Hovering over the image, it says Umranala. Is this on one of the passenger trains between Nagpur and Jabalpur? http://www.cleartrip.com/trains/stations/show/ULA is where I discovered it :)
