Rampage of Lalgola (Indo-Bangla Border) Passengers at SDAH-NH Main Line section [04:27]
Date taken: April 19, 2012 Camera used: SONY Camcorder DCR SX45E With temperature soaring to almost 42 degree, only an idiot like me will prefer to sit under the scorching sun for hours to do railfanning instead of sitting in the cosy sofas under the chilling ACs in our college's food court and having gala time with friends. Lalgola, a small town at 225 kms north of Kolkata is situated on the India-Bangladesh border. Though Lalgola does not have any railway connectivity with Bangladesh, but it is a terminal station which hauls more than a dozen of trains everyday. Only Gede and Bongaon (these two locations are also at border) have railway connectivity with Bangladesh, and the Kolkata Chitpur Terminal (KOAA)- Dhaka MAITREE International Express uses the Gede route to cross the border. Due to extreme rush, almost a dozen of passengers, and a couple of Express trains travel between Lalgola (LGL)- Murshidabad (MBB)- Berhampore Court (BPC) and Kolkata everyday. Earlier the route was complete ruled by alcos, but after electrification was done in 2004 (now doublification is going on), half of the trains were given electric locos on a permanent basis, but the remaining half are still hauled by alcos.. While the electric ones are hauled by ASN WAG-5 , the alcos are hauled by WDM-2/ 3A of HWH/ BWN. And the MEMU was recently introduced a couple of months ago. The main line of the Eastern Bengal Railway from Sealdah to Ranaghat, was opened in 1862 and extended to Kushtia, now in ...

IRFCA - Indian Steam Heritage, The Run ( WP-7161 ) [02:31]
WP 7161 is a Chittranjan Locomotive Works built engine, inducted into active service in 1965, this locomotive was homed at Saharanpur shed and gave distinguished service to IR before being phased out from active service. This Locomotive is christened "AKBAR", after the great Mughal Emperor. Both these Locomotives are a priced possession of Rewari Steam Loco shed, with great historic significance and deserve their rightful place in the rich heritage of Indian Railways. Let's celebrate the return of these two glorious Steam Engines and see these magnificent machines in steam once again. (Sorry For The Poor Quality On The Second Half Of The Video)

Bangladesh is one of the most populated countries in the world according to square mileage. Total estimated population 118 million. Density of population per sq. mile is 7656. Part 1. The Words of a Rickshaw Driver Bangladesh is considered the 'Rickshaw Capital of the World'. There are an estimated 500000 to 750000 Rickshaws in the capital city Dhaka. As I was filming a piece a paper fell from a Rickshaw... this is what it read... The Call to Evening Pray in Dhaka There are about five calls to pray everyday... the first one is at 5:30am and the last is around 5:30pm. Find River Find Village Give Camera While filming my travels I am followed by dozens of children curious about what I am doing and why I would want to take pictures of their world. This time I let them do the filming... of course, after a few quick lessons. With the help of my uncle and a chartered boat we try to find the future directors of Bollywood. Salim, Sayden, Azir Muhammad and their posse show me and film the village of Derma Dhat (Ghat) It's amazing what children can do... Part 2. Dhaka Fast Dhaka Furious South Asia has some of the worst traffic and the craziest drivers (and at times the best) in the world. Filming my driver, Shuman, skills as he drives 100km per hour (avg) though Dhaka (in fast forward). I will never worry about NYC cab drivers skills next time I hail ...
