For people living on the outer edges of the Chambal Valley, this dinky little train that runs from Gwalior to Sheopur, is a lifeline. No wonder it is patronized so well.

    I think I wouldn’t like to go on top, but then, inside it must be really hot.
    I took a train or two back in India. Luckily that wasn’t one of them.

    I actually rode on the roof of the opposite train (picture of that coming up in the next few weeks). It was great and not dangerous at all – the train moves very slowly.

    There are guys standing on the train ! :)
    And there’s a guy (just to the left of the engine) who’s peeing !! :)

    Brilliant photo.

    @ Sasi – haha good catch with the peeing chap!
    Bharath, really, nice lights and contrasts and so full of character. Great.

    So, do these people pay the fare?

    Yes, most of them do. And at bigger stations there is a guy who gets on the roof and checks tickets!
