One of the rarest sights in Indian Railways: an electric locomotive-hauled train running without overhead electric wires! This unusual operation is currently seen on two routes in India, the Ramanathapuram–Rameshwaram section in Tamil Nadu and the Mysuru–Chamarajanagar section in Karnataka. But why is a small portion of these otherwise electrified routes still without overhead wires, while electric locomotives continue to operate on them? The core reason is airports and aviation operations. On the Ramanathapuram–Rameshwaram route, the railway line passes close to a Naval air base, while on the Mysuru–Chamarajanagar route, it runs near Mysuru Airport. During electrification, concerns were raised about overhead equipment in the vicinity of active runways and its potential impact on flight operations. As a result, while most of both routes were electrified, these small sections were left without overhead electric supply. But Indian Railways still wanted to operate electric locomotives on the routes. So, a rather unusual solution is used: trains accelerate to their permissible speed before entering the non-electrified section and then roll through it using their momentum before reaching the electrified section again. It sounds like a hack, but this is an actual operational practice, making it one of the most unusual electric-train operations you can spot in Indian Railways. And yes, there have even been instances on these sections where a train reportedly got stuck after losing momentum in the non-electrified zone! :)

More than half the passengers reportedly deboarded a moving train because ticket checking was underway ahead at the station. Such a sad state of affairs. If we, as citizens, are so irresponsible that we can’t even buy a ₹10 ticket, do we really deserve all the development and better facilities we demand?

Gaya, one of the most visited cities by foreign travellers (mainly Buddhists) in India, had an old, rotten railway station for decades. Railway stations are generally the first impression of a city. Just imagine what all those foreign travellers perceived of India after seeing such a filthy and outdated station. But now, the station is getting a world-class makeover, turning it into a modern transit hub and revamping India’s image at the same time. Once completed, this station will surely be one of the most beautiful stations in India. I often wonder where all our tax money went before, as the system never got an upgrade post-Independence.

Imagine being a government school teacher, travelling daily in AC class without a ticket, and when the TTE asks for it, instead of showing one, you accuse him of molestation. Can’t buy a ₹10 ticket but carry the attitude of the President of India. 🤦🏻♂️ These are the very people entrusted with shaping the nation’s future. Kudos to the TTE staff for handling the situation firmly, it’s because of individuals like these that India and Indians are abused globally. #IndianRailways

Love how foreign tourists are left stunned while experiencing India’s new-generation trains, like the Sleeper Vande Bharat. 🇮🇳✨ The world still has an old image of India and Indian Railways, outdated trains, crowded stations and ageing infrastructure. But with modern trains, redeveloped stations and massive railway reforms, that perception is changing fast ✨
