I have a massive massive respect for you for avoiding any annoying background music, speech or your selfie clips. Lot of Indian rail RUclipsrs fail to understand this and keep talking throughout the video, showing their faces half of the time while adding cringe background music. Its my hobby to cover Indian Railways through clips in your style / Kuga's travel style someday. I'm currently young.
This is the best video which i have ever seen on indian railways either by indian or foreigner giving the complete accounts of its route and other description.
well, i am glad to hear that; giving the complete account of train travel is what i want to achieve
29:07 Indian Railway Passanger Car Labels:
H- First AC
A- AC 2 Tier
B- AC 3 Tier
S- Sleeper (Non-AC)
C- AC Chair Car (3 +2 Seating)
D- Non-AC Chair Car
E- Executive Chair Car
Cars are numbered based on this. For example, if the service has two AC two-tiers, they will be labelled A1 and A2. For composite coaches such as the one your riding in, the letters are combined, hence HA1. Hope this helps.
The information you hand out in the videos is mind boggling. Keep up the good work and welcome to India!
OK, I'll bite: why couldn't you release the rest of your Caucasus series?
... because of too many anti-russian comments and attacks my channel would receive
37:20 The height is because double stack freight trains used to run on the regular tracks too, sometimes still do.
Extremely impressed with how much well researched this video is.
You have even made an effort to name the places in their native languages.👏👏👏
Thank you for Visiting India and Showcasing Indian Railways. Please do travel all over India and document it.
Exceptionally well-done, as always. I’ve taken this journey (on Air India) in years past. But, never by rail. Thank you for sharing your remarkable film.
Awesome Vlog. You appear to be very knowledgeable about the Railways unlike the others.
Looking forward to watching your future videos.
Nice!
i took same train to make train journey video from jodhpur to bengaluru
I’ve subscribed to your channel for may years. The footage is the best and eye opening. By the way the Indian Broad-gage is 5 feet and six inches. You’ll find it in Pakistan and Bangladesh as well, and at the BART in San Francisco. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.
Double stack container trains are the reason for those extremely high pantographs.
Excellent video. Do you fancy to take some crazy ride in long distance Indian bus?🤪
Done hard job on Long Indian railway journey n vdo angles are very good.🙏🇮🇳👍
Wth brooooooo, followed you throughout the Russ. winter series, never thought that's you'd visit our country, appreciate it man🇮🇳.
What a lovely warm and calm morning here on Indian Railways !!! LOL🥸At the end of the film looks pretty good again .
As usual neat and clean videography. Bright video. Keep on your hard work. Need to show railway bridges and level crossings also. Good try. Keep on. Keep up your talent in good videography. Don't lose your talent in other things. 😎🚂
War sehr schoen, ich kucke schoen aus nach deine naechste Teilen diese Serien.
1. Not exactly running in desert. Desert is western side of that hill range.
2. Technically you need a “platform ticket” if u dont have a journey ticket. Sometimes tthey’re strict in some stations. Not most times.
3. That diesel loco IS EMD. Technology transfer. Before this IR diesel locos were ALCO. Now GM makes diesel locos for IR.
4. You should make it clear to ur audience that they can check their berths by looking up their PNR number before boarding.
6. Obscene amount of railway and third party apps and websites to check current running status & time tables for trains.
7. Sleepers are airy. But u r from cold country. Just that they can be crowded. Else much prefer sleepers for the air.
8. Unfortunately the coaches are made to international measurements even though broad gauge gives IR some leeway. Now it wud take lots of investments to widen width between tracks also. And we can easily run double deckers for all train but alas 😢
9. HA1 is mix of AC1 & AC2.
10. Diesel is pulling due to very fast electrification in recent years. Not enuf electrics, especially in routes most recently electrified.
11. The bi level container car is normal flatbed not well due to broad gauge.
12. All those u r saying “technical stops” r commercial stops. Technical (cum commercial) stop should only be abu road where they may have done crew change.
Very nice review !! Thanks for that. Like allways by watching your video's, i really get the feeling you must have had riding this train.
Very detailed coverage! Did you enjoy Indian Railways?
of course, I did
@@doc7austin what is it that you most liked and disliked about it?
You gussed it right, WDP4D diesel locomotive looks like EMD because it was made with collaboration of EMD.
The new red colour WDG4G locomotive is made by GE in india.
The pantograph is high because of the double stack container train..
The high rise cartenary is to run double stack containers friegt trains. All the DFC( dedicated freight corridors) Eastern and Western and the ADI - Delhi line has the high rise cartenary.
These lines were electrified new.
All the other lines in India is normal.
Rajasthan literally was a metre gauge state before now this changed after government implemented the Unigauuge system.
Great video. Appreciate all the details. 👌
Couple of suggestions...try Mumbai Delhi Rajdhani Express. Recently introduced semi high speed Vande bharat trains ...there 13 or 14 running across . Mumbai to Kerala route via Goa ..Most scenic . There are trains now connecting to Indias far north eastern states like Manipur , Nagaland as well . North East is most scenic . Also , there are couple of heritage toy trains in the mountains u can choose from ....
high panto is used as OHE are made as to cater stack trains , we don't use well cars for double stacking , Broad gauge provides enough stability that it can be done with normal flat cars itself
37:08 Yes. This is because the double stacked containers of freight trains enter the main lines via the dedicated freight corridor to reach last miles. India developed this special catenary back in 2008 for supporting dedicated freight corridors.
Lots of love from Bangladesh for your excellent videos😍😍. I enjoy your videos because there is no extra music. Real sound of the train is somewhat mesmerizing for me. And the information you provide is really absorbing.
I'd like to invite you to Bangladesh. I'd love to see you travelling from Dhaka to Chittagong.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in Bangladesh.
nice video and nice journey
and I asking can you come to visit Egypt and making a film about award railway??
"H" means AC first class, "A" means AC two tier and "B" means AC three tier. So, HA-1 means a coach with half 1st class beds and the other half with two tier beds.
AC 2 tier looks like the classic North American style open-section sleeper. Do they fold into seats during the day? Indian railway stations still have that special atmosphere about them. People running around with carts full of mail and luggage, 20 car trains pulling in and out, loco changes, evt. Here in Canada, they won’t let you on the platform until the train has stopped. One day I’ll feel brave enough to see it for myself, before all the loco-hauled slam doot trains are replaced by something faster.
Vielen Dank, ich freue mich auf die nächsten Teile. Beste Grüße aus der Heimat.
Very happy to see you in India, I have seen your Germany to Kazakhstan and Vladivostock to St Petersburg series and few others too.. Welcome to India, Do explore Vande Bharat train from Bangalore to Mysore, Gatiman Express from New Delhi to Agra. Also visit CSMT station of Mumbai, Mumbai Local Trains which is the cheapest suburban train in the world, Check Monorail of Mumbai, Water Taxi of Mumbai, Water Metro of Kochi, Mountain Railway of Simla and Nilagiri Mountain Railway, Darjeeling Train. World's longest Railway Bridge in North East, Kolkata Trams, Tejas Express from Mumbai to Goa
Your train adventure reminds me of the book "The Great Railway Bazaar by Paul Theroux".
Let's hope he doesn't get Duffiled (not sure of that spelling).
Wonderful vlog. Don't know how many routes you have covered in your epic Indian railway journeys. Will wait for the next part.
The class of coaches doesn't depend upon the counting, whether from rear side or from the locomotive side. HA is a mixed class coach, which you have already explained HA 1 means the have 1 that type of coach.
Just an interesting fact about India Rail: largest employer in India: 1 million + ! !
49:58 the first platform at Bhagat ki kothi railway station which is enclosed is specially meant for the train which once used to come from Pakistan or went to Pakistan. The passengers used to board or deboard at that platform.
9:18 these are EMD locomotives actually. Indian Railways imported 10 EMD locomotives for passengers service & some for freight service. Then the rest were built in Banaras Locomotive Works.
The reason why the train 04821 has a WAP-7 locomotive with a different pantograph is that the WAP-7 has scheduled container Services that must run on the dedicated Freight corridor. If they make 04821 longer or use coaches that consume more power than a wap-7 then a WAG-12 is used like how your Caucasus Mountains train has a 2ES5K or 2ES4K locomotive in some parts to give power supply to the double decker coach otherwise two EP2K or EP1s are required
I usually don't watch his airplane videos. I spent my career on airplanes and really never want to get on another one. But trains....
It would have been a honour to have for lunch in my home
Do let me know in future
Loved it...
We are in for a treat 👍👍
Make a video on new vande bharat express in India semi high speed 🚆
GREAT video ..... I just wish there was not so much garbage around the track side India is famous for ...
Yeah! But it's improving, in the next 5-6 years it will history.
Sadly it won't change in the near future because of the mindset of the people of India. Indian trains have open windows and hawkers sell food items throughout the train journey so, people eat and then throw garbage out of windows. So, unless a conscious change happens in the mindset of Indians it will be a difficult task clear garbage from Indian tracks.
Greatly done. Thanks
This locos are indeed EMDs from USA ! Manufactured in India now through technology transfer
I love WAP. The WAP-7 that is!
Super videó!
Great stuff 😊
Thank you!
Yes , you will only find those high catenary and pantographs on Delhi Ahmedabad route !
These were designed to accommodate double stack container trains … even Vande Bharat train sets here have 7 meters high Pantograph !! :)
Nice video sir how did you get to India
Emirates
This high catenaries are India's answer to an addiction to double stacked containers, the excuse used by USA/Canada to refuse to electrify.
In north america, there are also some car carries that are 3 stories high and won't fit under normal catenary systems. As you notied, you need special pantograpghs and can't reach high speeds with thjem since they are so tall. In the end, this creates incompatible train with the rest of the Indian network (hence the dedicated separate tracks for those trains) and would only work point-to point.)
Gad to see you are back, had noticed you hadn't posted videos on a while.
You should have gone to the buffet car. (even if you switched from your car to it during a station stop and witched back to your car at another station).
Is there a strategic reason for India to switch to such a broad gauge in 1990 instead of going to standard gauge?
Actually India never had Standard gauge, it's always Broad gauge from 1853. & Indian govt also never tried to change it, bcz not only India have to change Gauge but also need to replace all Locomotives, Coaches & wagons. & IT will be very costly. & India has very high pantograph in those stations, which is very close to sea port. Bcz of double stake containers fright trains.
all trains that run on high rise ohe tracks can run on normal electric tracks with the exception of double stack container trains, locos don't need any change other than panto's high rise capabilities (which I am not sure of as a lot of locos have been getting these two stage pantos lately), also normal IR tracks on those sections have high rise ohes as well as dfcs.
@@tanmay63 Unless all locos are equipped with those high pantographs, you still end up with incompatible systems. And pretty sure those very high pantogrpahs would have speed limits.
@@jfmezei These high rise pantographs are perfectly designed to run at 160 km/hr. However they max speed as of today is 130Km/he without track fencing and expected to reach 160Km/he in next 5 years. The OHE high rise panto in india is only between Ahmedabad and outskirts of Delhi as they are being used for double stack containers as western DFC has only recently been built. The same engine with high rise panto can ply on any other route with a normal OHE height. so this helps ensure compatibility of the locomotive to use anywhere on indian railways
The reason for keeping broad gauge is that we already had significant stretches of Broad gauge in the country. Plus, I feel that the broad gauge suits India better.
Always keen to follow your trips,be they in a plane, or train, ( no boat trip ? ) , the sides of railways tend to have a certain amount of rubbish, but this journey is somewhat spoiled by rubbish strewn along the sides of the tracks, Nevertheless,I’ll await the rest of the journey with interest.
9:24 These locos sound like the GM locos from Romania....
Yes Thats because both are GM(emd) Diesel locos.
@@rishav2205 Nice
We currently have a shortage of electric locomotives on IR. The reason is, IR has been on a fast electrification spree, in recent years. We went from a 38% electrified network in 2015 - 2016 too almost 85% electrification now. Naturally, on such a vast system, we are facing a shortage of electric locomotives. Plus, we still have lots of Diesels in a good condition.
Plus, many existing electric locomotives still have to be fitted with adjustable pantographs which are compatible with high rise OHEs of this particular section.
The best!
Superb vedio ❤
Yes WDP 4-d is an EMD loco of GM to India.
The passenger cars are "European"
LHB(Linke-Hoffman-Bush) Germany
So an Euro-Amrikaan train.
Wap-7 electric loco (3-phase) is an European.
😮
Your train was Super fast express train
When you upload next indian railway video?
in june -> JU-BRC
39:41 wait a minute pretty sure this small clip isn't from indian railways. We don't have such rolling stocks
coaches are grey and yellow suddenly...
No it isn't it,I think it is in Croatia, I think he made a joke to put this little part of Europe in this video, to make a comparison between India and Europe.
Maybe an editing mistake.
High raise pentograph because of double stacked container goods carried
wow! thank you for your answer; yes this makes sende
These red coaches called LHB ...Linke Hoffman Busch built by various rail factories under technology transfer from Germany.....made by lightweight Aluminum body and brakes. The others are ICF the ones in Ahmedabad- Jammu Tawi Express made by Integrated Coach Factory ( ICF) , Chennai
have you ever ride thai train
Before covid there was weekly train running from Munabao to pakistan i am not sure now
Each air conditioned car has its own ac unit vs.headend power?
5:06 these are emd too
Why not electric locomotive?
One reason is the shortage of elec locomotive.
Later they will run on it.
Dude its just bcoz a some parts Rajasthan isn't electrified(well whole IR will get electrifiedtill 2023 end or somethinglike that ) ....or else INDIAN railway is decommissioning all its diesel ones
Diesel engine would run Just on the dedicated freight corridors bcoz of there Power output to pull double decker freight
Or else Currently majority of the routes are electrified with WAP/WAG/WAM pulling them
I read somewhere online there was going to be a plan to convert diesel locomotives into dual mode ones (diesel + OHLE electric)... Is that true?
Not so that is because many times freight trains carry heavy axle load and most of the electric locos are not equipped to carry that much heavy load.
Yes that true few were converted too, but the fact is that they were not able to work that well. This is what I have heard.
This station is going to fully redeveloped by hsr completion
Where are you from 😊 ?

Ape kha se hi
grundsaetzlich ist das Bahnfahren in India mit dem in Romania gleichzusetzen...

One Rajdhani express train run on this route
Ahmedabad to New Delhi Swarna jayanti rajdhani express
39:42 European spot surges from nothing.
Rajdhani express train is first priority run in india
6:02 really?😂 why though
Which train is this in 39:47 min
That's a croatian 🇭🇷 train, I searched on google
@manusia4759 that is regiojet train prague-split/rijeka
That journey was slow....even by IR standards. On many of IR's trunk routes, the top operating speed of trains is 130 km/h, regardless of the class of the train. Your train didn't seem to cross the threshold of 90 km/h.
You never answered the question as to why they use diesel locomotives on an all electric line.
Since are/were there you could answer that much more easily than i can. Did you ask anyone there?
Because electrification work is still going on...so Diesel locomotives are in use for diesel routes..
We electrified too fast. There is currently a shortage of electric locomotives. We are working on it. We want from a 38% electrified network in 2015 to almost 85% electrified as of now.
there are sections in-between the route where electrical work is in progress..besides there is a good stock of Diesel loco which are in good condition.
Diesel locos are lying idle , better use them
Vlogger : Henceforth I will not film bathroom/toilets in the train.
39:40 - 39:49 Where in Europe ?
I think it was on the journey from Prague to Split somewhere in Croatia.
Zagreb, Croatia
Make the train journey in Pakistan
India wont issue me a new visa if I visit pakistan
@@doc7austin
Pakistan is not at all visitable these days. Their economy is in chaos & their railway is very unsafe. And the debt continues to pile up taking toll on their economy.
28:57 WTF České Dráhy?
no, Regiojet
@@doc7austin And what does it do in India?
@@doc7austin LOL man. I noticed that. Easter egg?
Tracks are narrower, vegetation is quite different. I think doc7Austin was homesick had to insert some western european footage im there 🙂

Indian Railways is mainly used by poor people such as labor folks that travel from poorer states to the richer states and older, village pilgrims. That is why you don’t see much first AC sleepers. Plus as you experienced, IR trains are mostly slow crawling at an average speed of 52 kmph. Most middle class folks take planes for quick travel. Some new semi HSR and HSR are luring middle class travelers. Time will tell how successful these become.
Most Indians never appreciate their own country's countryside and prefer, if they can afford, to travel by plane. Indians do not understand that aeroplanes are much more polluting and wasteful especially opening 59 new aeroports. They think it is advancement!
Most middle class have still never travelled by air. Stop with your weird propaganda. Our per capita income is way less.
Tracks are under upgradation and speed is slowly increasing day by day 😂😂😂😂
Why are people sitting and sleeping on the station floor. Are there no benches for the old and weary?
The seat not being allocated until 4 hours before departure is exclusively for First AC. Stupid, I know. But for other classes, you get coach numbers and seat numbers right at the time of booking.
bro you are in india in summers???? text me if you need any help
