- Trainspotting at Varanasi
- Konkan Jan Shatabdi at Divankhavati
- Overtaking a MG train at Kollam outer
- WCAM/WAG banker freight action on the ghats at Igatpuri
- Mumbai bound Ratnagiri Superfast Express entering Jalgaon
- Cucumber seller at Jalgaon
- High-speed rail action / crossings in the Kollam-Kayankulam stretch and Kannur
- Footplating on the WAP4
- RORO train on Konkan Railways
- Double-headed WDM2 freight action after Madgaon
- Friendly railway staff on Konkan Railway
- Kerala Express spotted at Aluva and Kollam outer
The background score in this video is from Androsphynx & TechnoDaftpunk, but I have also preserved the original sound from the clipss so that you can hear the train beats and the loco horns.
The background score of this video is a song from the Tamil movie Aran. No train beats, just rail action!
Hope you enjoy them!

Thank you very much, Arun, for letting me enjoy several wonderful minutes of your rail journeys, something I normally never do without during my frequent visits to India except last two in Nov 07 & Jan 08 which were just too short (only 2 days each) for any railfanning so I’m suffering from withdrawal symptoms! Best wishes from Paris, Hugh.
Thank you Hugh. It’s great to meet an Indian Railways fan from Paris. Probably in your next trip to India, we can go on a joint rail-fanning trip? Take care, Arun.
