WOW what a beautiful and interesting video.☺Thank you so much.🙏💚

@@roserevancroix2308 you are very welcome. Thank YOU for stopping by to comment, letting us know. 👍👍
The effort behind this video is simply amazing. The way visuals are captured, especially nature is very nice. Born and raised in Tamil Nadu it is a treat to watch the locations captured using drones. Thanks for the video.
Not sure what was the western agenda at 2.03 minutes jammu and kashmir not part of india map. Time not so far, western ideology keep supporting the pakstain. Look like another one sided bbc documentary. Now video start at 2.03 to 2.22 omitted with blur 😂
these tracks are not from colonial era. This BG routes is made by Indian railways. They are not low caste dont spread fake details. Fastest Train is Vandebharat and Gatiman at 160Kmph
Absolutely correct.
The only remains of the British Era are the railway stations.
I wish these were demolished as well.
This is an old documentary.
They are low caste
@@appu003100they’re too beautiful to be demolished
@@oshinn7875 agreed but at the end of the day it reminds me of british rule and their cruelty on our ancestors. I can't forget what they have done to our country
Another interesting fact is that Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, ex-President of India and one of the world's best missile scientist was born in that small town of Rameswaram at the Southern tip of mainland India. From being a fisherman, to becoming president of world's largest democracy, his journey is very inspiring.
How did you assume the caste of track cleaners? They also write exams and get selected to do the job. They are railway employees, too.
True
They assumed because there is also an agenda to fulfil to show non-Western countries in bad light.
This channel's documentaries assume a lot of things about India. I wonder who funds these documentaries?
Dravidiafricans tell us Hindi speakers that Dravidiafricans are so advanced and look how advanced they are 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They black most likely lower caste
28:33 Based on the Wikipedia article, the Railway Workshop at Golden Rock, Trichy was built in 1928 by the South Indian Railway Company, not by the "East India Company"
Agreed, there are other factual inaccuracies as well. It is the jaundiced eye of documentary maker that sees what it want to see.
1. Indian railways does not assign work by caste. It is incidental that people working as cleaners are mostly from lower caste.
2. 28:02, it was clearly apparent in the video that hard work was done by both men and women. The narrator makes it sound like women working hard is a discrimination. It was quite a hypocritical remark to make when women world over are marching to get the work.
3. They show as if the entire train is non-AC. All the long distance trains have both, AC and non-AC compartments.

Never been this early in the comments so i had to take the opportunity to say how much we appreciate the countless hours that go into these documentaries. Love n blessings from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
A lot of Indians in Trinidad and Tobago
@@drewh3224 yes.
37:08 "TO IMPROVE THE TRADE ROOT TO SRILANKA" 😂😂 British build road and train to transfer loot 😂 not to improve trade root
😂😂
😂😂😂
This documentary comes out at the right time.
Lol 😂 Ain't that the damn truth!?
Palki, a female Indian journalist, disagreed! She disagreed with the German cartoon, too!
@@drewh3224 the german cartoon is baseless. People don't travel on top of Indian trains. The images are from early 2010. The tracks are electrified and now Bangladesh is mistaken as Indian trains for carrying people on top.
@@drewh3224 palki has so far only reported the traina accident, unlike her coverage of western criticism of India, where she gives her own "scholarly" thoughts. At best she is a softcore right wing shill who is relevant because of her passive aggressive tone, good looks, and English commentary.
Not sure how this qualifies as one of the world’s most dangerous railways, but I enjoyed the documentary especially the bridge crossing. The color of the sea made me want to jump in. Thanks for this window into life in Tamil Nadu. Safe travels to all
It is rarely above 29Celcius in winter but in the video they talk about temperature going up to 50Celcius and no where in Tamil Nadu even in summer that kind of temperature is reached.
The trains and rail infrastructure are not from Colonial era 😮, rolling stocks are replaced. Older coaches are scrapped and existing diesel locomotives are being sent to Bangladesh, some African and South Asian countries.
Transgenders don't entertain, they are there to grab money from passengers, infront of the camera they behaved 😊.
Railway recruitments are based on one's educational qualification and individuals from lower caste are given priority.
The train creeps at 15kmph over Pamban bridge.
And Hindu's place of worship is Temple, not Hindu Building.
West still has colonial hangover..
What model trains are those? They look like 1950s design.
@@dannydaw59
The yellow colored coaches, here its called ICF coach, based on 1950 model design by Swiss Car and Elevator company.
The red colour coaches are LHB coaches design Germany, 1995.
1. Dangerous route because its India, if it was in the west it would have been engineering marvel. Words are important.
2. Those jobs are open for everyone willing to work, the vacancies are filled post qualifying railway exams.
3. Fastest train in India literally runs with a max permissible speed of 180km/hr.
4. It is mandatory to have two loco pilots in every express trains in India.
5. Indian railways have AC coaches too, for people who are wiling to pay more.
Nothing has changed in the past 70 years about western media showing the side of India with all the information being half cooked, fake or carefully crafted to make sure it does look bad.
Yes, and I see they threw in the "Climate Change" fabulous lie also!
200% correct.
Correct...why are they calling Indian Railways as world's most dangerous railway
@@GENCENT because it is true.. The safety record of Indian Railways is one of the worst.. And before blaming the railway people, I would blame the politicians.. Close to 300 people were killed in the Coromandel accident and just a few months down the line the media maintains pin drop silence and the shameless Prime Minister is yelling about Vande Bharat to get his personal ambitions fulfilled for the next General Elections..
@@subhrajyotiadhya5878 partially agree with you but my point is that the west always tries to showcase India as the worst in any field.
I haven’t been to this part of India, only to New Delhi and parts of Punjab. I’ve also been to Karachi in Pakistan. This part of the south and the lovely railroad are so beautiful to me, I would like very much to see it one day. I’ve really enjoyed everyone I met during my first trip to India, everyone was very kind to me from cab drivers, vegetable sellers, shop keepers, policemen, people at various temples & just regular people as I was trying to get out of their way or riding in traffic with my friends. It’s very obvious to me that kindness to strangers is a value that almost everyone keeps. I even met people at petrol stations who were wonderful to speak with. ❤️ from 🇺🇸
I’m part English, part Indian (born in Cochin, Kerala) living in Seattle, WA. This video brought back so many of my childhood memories. My Keralite mom would take me to visit her sister in Chennai and we would make the journey via train but I don’t remember it being this exact express. I’ve always liked the people of Tamil Nadu more than my birth state simply because they’re more humble and kind. And the food, dear god the food! South Indian cuisine keeps you wanting more…🤤 I hope to be back sometime in the future ❤
WOW I so loved this clip, it was as if I was aboard the train. That crossing from Mandapam to Pamban to Rameswaram across the Indian Ocean really set my heart on fire. Journeys like these cannot be explained in words and the memories it leaves can never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing.

The narrator said India Rails date back to Colonial Times.
They’re living in a dream.
Indian Railways changed in the 80s
Our country such a beautiful country ❤❤
It's amazing that we can watch such high quality documentary for free on RUclips, what a time to be alive
Because it's old. 😂
@@batman_2004 😆
too old for copyright
@@rohanstormbanks7601they talk about 'back when there was COVID...'
@@0ate5y That means the video is new? The FD team did visit there recently...
It's a great video but few things needs to be pointed out. Untouchable is not an acceptable way of describing sanitation workers. The average speed in Indian express trains is not 42 kms per hour but much more. Here it is low because of the terrain and the number of stoppages.
Indian women enjoy equal rights as men. India is a non decriminatory nation.
For me this is the first time I saw a documentary on my own country India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳! Thank You Free Documentary.❤💜🌹🌺
Really ? For decades we in the west have made many, latest one was butcher of gujrat
Do you love your caste system too?

@@batman_2004 lol caste system is not mentioned in any Sanatani Hindu scriptures
It was Varna system(people were categorized by their jobs)
Also today all of us are trying to eradicate caste system as it is affecting HINDU UNITY

@@shsh-he5qgbut for forgot Sabarmati Express burned by one belief cult group followers for no reason
I have a huge respect for the people who all are working in the railway department it's an amazing and challenging work
Never knew anything about this railway. Have no interest in trains or railways, but this was a nicely done and filmed documentary. That railway is quite remarkable, considering this was old-timey tech. Engineering at it's finest. Non-dubbed original language with subtitles would be the icing on the cake. Love the history, geography of the area and surrounding area, and wildlife and ecosystem.
It's the World's biggest Railways :
8 Billion people travel in Indian Railways annually.
About 70,000 kms across all of India

Dravidiafricans tell us Hindi speakers that Dravidiafricans are so advanced and look how advanced they are 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good Documentary! However, Indian Railways job allocations are determined solely by qualifications and experience, rather than being assigned based on one's caste. Accuracy in reporting is vital. Kindly check facts before publishing.
6:48 "India still agricultural country" what a great statement, being Indian I am proud because without food no humanity survive.
It's an agricultural country....means that majority of population are dependent on agriculture & hence the low economy.
Nothing to be proud of....farming is done in every countries.
20 minutes into the documentary and i still dont understand what is so "dangerous" about this railroad? Get to the point quickly.
Hi I'm from Tamil Nadu, happy to see this documentary...
Also I sense a theme of doom and gloom. It was not needed to mentioned 2005 floods that killed 100s of people. The only agenda is the western percention of India as a place where tragedy happens all the time.
All the time! 😆 🤣
There is no body like untouchables in india as described by the narrator.
எவ்வளவு அழகான சுதந்திரமான நாட்டில் வாழுகின்றோம் என நினைக்கும் போது பெருமிதமாக இருக்கின்றது!! இந்த ஆவண படத்தை தயாரித்த தயாரிப்பாளருக்கும், இயக்குனருக்கும், ஒளிப்பதிவாளர்க்கும், இசையமைப்பாளர்கும், மற்றும் தொழில் நுட்ப கலைஞர்களுக்கும் வாழ்த்துக்கள்....
I really appreciate and respect the crew members of Indian Railways and above all the crew members of this documentary video. Hats off!
☺
lot of inconsistencies in the information in this documentary and a hint of western prejudices. Will need to take this documentary with a huge pinch of salt on its accuracy
I traveled on this bridge in last December...it's sad that it has been closed to rail traffic permanently...lots of Indians have their fond memories of traveling on this bridge
Yeah😅
a parallel bridge is under construction bro .. this bridge may be closed and maintained as a memorial ....
New bridge is to be opened in February 2024. Work has almost been completed
@@latestmoviesandflixz5456 wonderful excited
Greetings India 🌍🙋
Traveling in train in India is different experience while traveling in train we meet with so many people we discuss so much with them which makes our journey so memorable
World is full of wonders and time we spend on it is a treasure.
We just need to use that time right.
05:44 They bought their own breakfast because there is no food service, not because of safety reasons, but because short-distance trains in India do not have a pantry car because of low demand. Otherwise, you will find food services on a number of trains in India (almost all long-distance trains).
I had travelled on this bridge 4/5 times. Wonderful experience.
Nice information.
It's fascinating to know the dedication of employees in Indian Railways and the lovely culture of my country 🇮🇳
Dravidiafricans tell us Hindi speakers that Dravidiafricans are so advanced and look how advanced they are 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don’t understand what’s” most dangerous “ in this train journey from Chennai to Rameswaram ??
I suppose the monsoon floods 🤔 I haven't finished watching yet though
Rameshwaram is also hometown of India's former president late doctor APJ Abdul Kalam
A very enjoyable watch. India is so fascinating. Would love to visit one day, but dam flights are so expensive.

Not trains except those on Heritage routes date back to colonial times. Colonial times had steam engines, no train in India is steam. And almost 99.9% of infra you see is post colonial.
This train journey is something everyone needs to try. Its actually super fun
I agree!
@@FreeDocumentary Such a lovely documentary. I want more documentaries from different parts of this incredible country.
construction on the new pamban bridge is 84% complete.
Why Dont Show The Map of Kashmir
Also the main focus is on Train No 16851 Rameswaram express which was shown leaving Chennai Egmore station the actual departure being 715 pm. Subsequently different trains are being shown at Villupuram, trichirapalli junction etc. departing during day time!!
Thankyou DW for describing Indian Railways and Tamilnadu state ❤
@@vsr3777 Nonsense. If you do not know about the Indian quota system, shut your mouth.
This is how India really is😊 kudos to free documentry team
Appreciate the effort to complete the documentry..
Hearty thanks to u guys for visual treatment and story telling.
very glad you enjoyed it - thank you!
The railway does not recruit by class and caste- The West has struggled to understand India. And their loose commentary is totally appalling. When you take a documentary bringing caste is unwarranted.
The caste is ruining India for long. The Indian society is heavily caste biased even in railway works also. check your facts.
@@mayukhbanerjee3859 fact is cast word it self is not indian word ☠️
Casteists are usually hurt when exposed..
But it still exists. It’s not a problem with the west
Dravidian pigs still use caste 😂
Thank you Free Documentary Team for Bringing this Epic Video
Lot's of Love and Support from India
A most excellent documentary film.
the content is written by the queen
For 3 Euros, an average Indian can travel in relative comfort to a place where his heart, mind, soul and desire is fulfilled. What else you need? In Bharat, Railways is a social service. Not a transport service.
❤
It is funny when to hear the narrative, if it is built by the British, she just speaks about the engineering marvel and not the manpower required it whereas she does not miss any chance of emphasising the number casualties that take place in the Indian railways.
Thank you very much for the video. The Pamban Bridg is a dangerous on. Now another bridge is almost completed allowing ships to pass under. Kudos to Indian Railways and supported by the Central Government. Now Indian Railways have planned to build the Dhanashkodi Railway Line.I am sure they will succeed. Indian People prayers are with them. The video looks like an old one. The tracks are shown single line most of the time. Thanks to the Person/Persons who made the documentary.
This isn't about dangerous railway tracks but rather a really enjoyable informational insight to the travel in India and to see the beauty of the country.
Travelling by train over pamban bridge we feel nostalgic and numbness
A beautiful documentary. thank you
Very nice documentary thank you
As a person from Tamilnadu (South India), who uses this rail route very frequently, this documentary is highly exaggerated, and typical representation of India by overlooking western media. Rameshwaram express as mentioned in the documentary is one among many Express trains, which comes with four class configuration such as First AC, Second AC, Third AC and Sleeper Class (Non AC). So people here have choice to choose between Air-conditioned and Non AC coaches. There are many train variants like Vande Bharat express, Shadabthi and Rajdhani which has speed range way beyond 52 Kmph. In converse to what mentioned here in documentary, to reach deep into south from Chennai, we have well connected roadways with frequent bus service and also air connectivity to major locations. At some point of the documentary they mentioned that the Indian railways is still using colonial era rail roads, which sounds funny and sad for them being ignorant of the facts. Like this I can point out many bizarre claims in this ill-researched documentary.
Tamil people are so nice looks innocent like japanese.
I have liked your stuff for years but this one feels woke to me.
Beautifully produced video documentary. I enjoyed it.
Thank you for that great video! I want to point out to others looking for the amazing hill-temple shown at 22:00 that it doesn't appear to be the Rock Temple as mentioned, but possibly the Urachikottai Temple instead, which is located about 80-miles (130km) upstream the Kaveri or north-west of Tiruchirappalli, just north of Bhavani.
A small note, it is also the birth place of respected Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
Great video but I would not consider this the most deadly.
I agree -
It's a very interesting and great opportunity to discover & iconic places in India. So Thanks of it 🙏.
Outstanding documentary! 👍👍
45:08 are you crazy lol? It crosses the bridge at 10-15kph, not 45kph!
Great video I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end thank you so much for letting us know what is going on in India
God bless that super man he was praying for all
Best video, it makes me always exciting when i watch pamban bridge. Although I had travelled three times but still want to travel to that corner of Tamilnadu. Mesmerizing experience, awful journey and challenging work for the engineer's who took care on daily basis. It's a very risky job for those railway worker, I appreciate all the staff related to pamban bridge. Their hard work and commitment towards their work is highly respected by us . Thank you for making a wonderful documentary for this mesmerizing journey.

2:05 Wrong representation of Indian map. Please correct it
The tone of the documentry sounds more like the editor is journaling a safari or savana and less of rail, pamban or culture. Like head lion is licking his palm or something on those lines.That's me, viewers may have different opinions. Most Indians, unlike me, are humble about people making video about them and give back more to people than they deserve to get in form of love respect and affection.
Excellent documentary. Loved it.

The Railways don't discriminate. Those are open positions that are filled based on qualifications, those people may or may not be low caste.
Nice travelogue of the trip from Chennai to Rameswaram with very interesting details in and around the train and the stations. Good work!
I suggest that Sri Lanka and India work together to enhance their railway infrastructure and extend it to Sri Lanka's Mannar region. By connecting Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka with Tamil Nadu in India, this would facilitate travel and trade between the two regions. With the integration of flight, ferry, and potentially railway connections, it would promote stronger ties and improved transportation options for both locals and visitors.
Poda po
Yes, it will boom the Tourism in sri Lanka.
Vaipu illa raja
@lingeshvasudevan9760 you're right, with corrupted telugu thiravida politicians ruling both Sri Lanka and tamilnadu, there is no hope for that.
Colombo and Western Sri Lanka always had better connectivity and larger exchange with India than Jaffna and Eastern Sri Lanka.
That's why Sri Lankan Tamils are so different culturally with Indian Tamils ! Both people and land thrived separately (with existing boat travels but at very low scale) until the Britishs came.
Amazing Drone Shots and Cinematography!
These documentaries are informative

Very good 👍 documentary, captured 👏 nicely and as mentioned the rivers are getting polluted by a mix of industrial waste and human excretions. The rivers are mostly populated by direct release/mix of Drainage/Sewage waster. The government must look into this and take corrective measures otherwise in the near future all/most rivers might get polluted and the state will face a scarcity of drinking water and for cultivation.
The route is now closed and the last stop is Mandapam station, the government is constructing a new bridge across the Indian Ocean to reach Rameshwaram
Brilliant 👏 documentary.. love from India
It's really funny calling this track as the most dangerous... The west trying so hard to paint one of the most developed states of India as poor 😂😂😂😂😂😂. FYI Tamil Nadu's Human Development Index is in par with European Countries and India of 2023 is not India of 1923, we are whole new different country altogether.
