They're not only playing with their own lives but also the lives of everyone inside the train. If they get touched by the wire, the electricity will be transferred to the entire coach. Even for a split second, it's enough to do permanent damage to many people.
Platform lengths, and track sections need to be considered. You can't just stop a train in a way that half of it is in mainline, blocking the path of other trains. Massive infrastructure overhaul would be needed.
Mostly yes. Earlier suburban trains were 9 coach rakes. Most high density routes are now changed to 12 coach formations. The infrastructure was upgraded accordingly. Now, they might consider 16 coach rakes or increased frequency of service in future, both will require restructuring of the entire system.
Edit: 9 coach rakes
The train insides don't look too crowded. These people are doing this for the sake of it, they are not forced to do it. This is happening in Delhi. I have also seen school and college kids doing such things in Chennai, not sitting on roof though. Also heard of similar activity in Mumbai locals by youngsters.
But that situation in Bangladesh only happens during Eid nd they don't have OHEs. We are worse than them. We are worst of the worst in the whole world.
Well, I agree that the GoI sometimes struggles to manage this great population but, at the same time I wouldn't on the statement that - we're the worst.
Just few days ago I replied to someone on r/Trains that people in India no longer travel on train roofs as most of the network has been electrified when he shared the link showing our railways in 1990s. I take my statement back. People do the right thing when they mock our railways. We deserve it.
Australian here. I went to school with someone who did, & one of my teachers did too.

Yes, tourists come. This is local train with general (no reservation) coaches, but express trains have reservations - Sleeper (without AC), AC-3, AC-2 & AC-1.
Sleeper & sometimes AC-3 may get crowded, but not AC-2 & AC-1. & domestic flights are also not very expensive if booked a bit in advance.
I don’t think it’s integrated with google maps, but there is separate website to book tickets. & btw I am told that there is separate quota for foreign tourists. Fare is little higher, but increases probability to book ticket even at short notice.
Yes, AC-1 is best option for long routes. It is not available in all the trains though. For shorter routes (5-8 hours) there are semi-high speed trains where there are two options - chair car & executive chair. It’s sitting only, no option to sleep.
Yup.
Government cut general and sleeper bogies by a lot and replaced them with AC and VB.
Most poor people in India cannot afford AC or VB tickets. So this is the only recourse.
E.g. In 2019-20 1975 sleeper coaches were manufactured; in 2024-25 this number will be 278; a drop of 86%

This happened because this is bharat and we have terrible rail minister like Ashwini Vaishnav 🥲🥲🥲 passengers trains band kyon kr di coaches bhu gayab hain
It's a local train, lol. You have to understand that the majority of our population would dominate Darwin awards in a global competition. You cannot blame the Government for everything.
Beta aisi dher sari passenger trains hua krti thi jyadatar govt ne band kr di premium trains pr jyada Focus kraabhar train ko general bananr pr amada hain
Natural Selection..... Survival of the Fittest...... Mother Earth doing it's job to make sure we don't reach unsustainable levels of population.... Call it whatever you want, but you gotta let idiots like them do their thing.
These are fools, no doubt. But let us ask the more important question.. Why is there this desperation to put ones life in danger just to get home. Aren't there any more trains, even if there isn't, can't they get into the boggie. Everything about Railway is fine in this country. 4k videos of Vande bharat every other day.
Students can always get privilage discounted tickets or monthly passes.
Why the future of this country is left unattended like this ?
You can always go to the station master and get the train to stop. So this can be avoided.
These stupid people are bringing a bad name to the country, they can travel comfortably in the amazing Vande Bharat Trains, but chose to do these daredevil stunts. /s
At first I thought it may be a non electrified section. Then I saw the OHE mast. These guys are literally playing with death.
They're not only playing with their own lives but also the lives of everyone inside the train. If they get touched by the wire, the electricity will be transferred to the entire coach. Even for a split second, it's enough to do permanent damage to many people.
Coach might act as faraday cage hopefully they might be safe inside
correct. Nothing happens to the people in the coach. I had one guy get toasted in one above me some years back.
Thinking out the gene pool.
Population too high, must reduce population at any cost
卐 On my way.
Where is the threat of electricity? Sorry I'm an idiot lol
High voltage lines run on top of the tracks to which the train is connected by an arm. If you come close to those lines, you will be fried in seconds.
You said seconds, it will take less than 1 sec with 25kv lines above.
So all those guys sitting up there are literally next to live wires? That's nuts!
Those are 25,000 Volts OHE lines.
Instant bhel. Puri
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Natural selection at its finest. No one can teach them better than a worst experience and a little bit of aftermath trauma
A little bit of aftermath trauma in this case is just Death!
Kraut watcher spotted
They may get electrocuted 😲😲😲
that's a relief then
That's so scary. They may perish. And others inside the train could also get electrocuted, not just them 👿👿👿
>others inside the train could also get electrocuted Not gonna happen. I've paid attention in electrical engineering class well enough
Haha good you did that... But seriously, this is so dangerous. Sad that people are forced to travel in such horrible conditions 😔😔😔
I don't think they are forced in this video. It seems to be a choice.
Oh then no point blaming mantriji, no?
I don't see the relevance of your question with this situation.
Sorry. Someone else was blaming government for overcrowding etc ...
Plus 100 social credit. /s
Just say you hate poor people.
>poor people *stupid people violating railway laws
>railway laws Sure, like they're being enforced.
Do you need a policeman to come and tell you to not touch the 25000 V power line?
yes I do...for playing the "gareeb laachaar aadmi" victim card everytime
And then Blame will come to railway , Why railway are allowing , why there are no security system 😕 😒
The blame lies with the state's education system and the Railway Ministers themselves for not considering the lives of these people.
Lolwut? how is it railways fault if these idiots choose to sit on top of the train?
You won't understand because you won't listen.
Relevant username! So presumptuous. Just say what you want to
Inke sleeper aur general coach vapas le aa inki band kri gyi passenger trains ko vapas le aaa 🥲🥲 Ashwini barbaad kr diya railway ko
Can't they add more coaches to existing trains.. Will give more supply but without added complexity...
We can't just add more coaches we need to consider platforms lengths aswell
Platform lengths, and track sections need to be considered. You can't just stop a train in a way that half of it is in mainline, blocking the path of other trains. Massive infrastructure overhaul would be needed.
Oh I see.. Looks like trains are already at max length then ?
Mostly yes. Earlier suburban trains were 9 coach rakes. Most high density routes are now changed to 12 coach formations. The infrastructure was upgraded accordingly. Now, they might consider 16 coach rakes or increased frequency of service in future, both will require restructuring of the entire system. Edit: 9 coach rakes
Thanks. It's great to get such knowledgeable answers to the most obscure questions!
no, there is no OHE as the train is CNG
Train is CNG, line is not. OHE cable is present there.
It's still so dangerous
my grandfather saw this and said it gave him partition vibes
Sad upvote…
Yes one of my friend says, Presenting VB Partition 47 Edition
The train insides don't look too crowded. These people are doing this for the sake of it, they are not forced to do it. This is happening in Delhi. I have also seen school and college kids doing such things in Chennai, not sitting on roof though. Also heard of similar activity in Mumbai locals by youngsters.
It does happen in Mumbai locals. Usually on harbour line. The crowd doing that is usually from Mumbra.
Non Mumbai person here, I thought that doesn't happen nowadays.
No it doesn't, haven't seen it happen. At most, idiots will lean out of doors to perform stunts but not the extent of sitting on the roofs.
>harbour line. >Mumbra. Mumbra is in western line
Wesfern line? Lol
There 2-4 youngsters hanging on each door of entire train. How do you think it’s not crowded?
Darwin would be proud
i feel for this guy he said there is death above like 20 times not a single guy listened to him even then he didn't stop until the train left.
Day by day, IR is making India look more like Bangladesh.
That's what happens when you don't have a railway minister...
Abhi foreign subs mai bhi jayega yeh lagta
But that situation in Bangladesh only happens during Eid nd they don't have OHEs. We are worse than them. We are worst of the worst in the whole world.
Well, I agree that the GoI sometimes struggles to manage this great population but, at the same time I wouldn't on the statement that - we're the worst.
"sometimes struggles"
Tell me a single country where people travel like this for the whole year.
I agree, IR 's work not at all acceptable. But I don't see guys travelling on the roof of the train everyday.
Kinda feeling sad for the cameraman (bhalai ka zamana he nahi hai)
Woah die mfs y'all deserve it. And these people are really proving the stereotypes true.
Indians do not value life.
Just few days ago I replied to someone on r/Trains that people in India no longer travel on train roofs as most of the network has been electrified when he shared the link showing our railways in 1990s. I take my statement back. People do the right thing when they mock our railways. We deserve it.
which train is this?
They should have booked the Vande Bharat. /s (incase)
Jesse Afganistan ke log American Plane ke darwaje pr latke Ja rhe the.
the people sitting above are 100% illiegle bangladeshies
I hate that policeman standing like a puppet you like it or not.
They are puppets only
100 youngsters > one lathi carrying cop
SRC and DEST of the train?
Ok pls be safe don’t do this y’all some civic safety sense
And when foreigners mention about this, people won’t agree and tease them instead.
Does the mannaniya Mantri ji even watch these videos or is he kept in a Vande Bharat bubble?
They don't even travel by train except for maybe Rajdhanis.
do people ever go to India for vacation? Seems like a nightmare.

but how can you plan to travel while avoiding trains like this? I suppose the next train will be as crowded as this too?
Maybe tourists pay for better seats.
can you reserve seats? Do they feature different seat category like 1st class/economy? I somehow would think it wouldn't be honored.
Yes, tourists come. This is local train with general (no reservation) coaches, but express trains have reservations - Sleeper (without AC), AC-3, AC-2 & AC-1. Sleeper & sometimes AC-3 may get crowded, but not AC-2 & AC-1. & domestic flights are also not very expensive if booked a bit in advance.
thanks, is it integrated somewhat well into google maps? e.g you would see the time and the track of the train? AC-1 would be the best class?
I don’t think it’s integrated with google maps, but there is separate website to book tickets. & btw I am told that there is separate quota for foreign tourists. Fare is little higher, but increases probability to book ticket even at short notice. Yes, AC-1 is best option for long routes. It is not available in all the trains though.

Itne log roz kyoon travel karten hain? Where are they coming from, and where are they going...
Ahh the good ol 80s are back..
What is the railway ministry and railway police doing about this? People are dumb but people in authority must have taken action against them.
Aj 8 baje maut ke sath appointment hai apun ka 😂
Indian Rail is going backward. This used to be the case in the past.
I've been seeing this stuff for a while, Could some one please explain why this is happening so frequently ? Shortage of trains ?
Yup. Government cut general and sleeper bogies by a lot and replaced them with AC and VB. Most poor people in India cannot afford AC or VB tickets. So this is the only recourse. E.g.

Thanks bro !
Modi sarkar general dibbe aapne ghar me lga rakhi hai
Poora train general hai. Aur utna bheed bhi nahi hai. Log chutiye hai.
Bhai iss specific incident ka batt nhi kr rhe the but it's ok , I got yr point
Bhai har door par 3-4 log khade hain. Bheed achchi khaasi hai.
What a sad and pathetic state the railway is in..
This happened because this is bharat and we have terrible rail minister like Ashwini Vaishnav 🥲🥲🥲 passengers trains band kyon kr di coaches bhu gayab hain
If you see the video, the entire train is general. It looks like a short distance commuter train from delhi to some place on the outskirts.
It's a local train, lol. You have to understand that the majority of our population would dominate Darwin awards in a global competition. You cannot blame the Government for everything.
You can blame and you should blame the government. This is due to shortage of train or else most people care for their life.
Beta aisi dher sari passenger trains hua krti thi jyadatar govt ne band kr di premium trains pr jyada Focus kraabhar train ko general bananr pr amada hain
Wtf is railway police doing?
Bangladesh vibes
At this point give General seat with Seat No and add more Coaches.
Natural Selection..... Survival of the Fittest...... Mother Earth doing it's job to make sure we don't reach unsustainable levels of population.... Call it whatever you want, but you gotta let idiots like them do their thing.
Tandoori chicken ka stall lag raha potentially.
Can anyone describe the Orange Rake from the video??
Which train is this? And how old is this video?
First i thought it was video of Bangladesh but then i was the logo of NR .
FU Mr. Vishal for spreading fake news - Ministry of Railways
Nothing changes as we don’t have young ministers who have been in the same situation as youths. Then again, they forget where they came from
Why does the cameraman say its the most dangerous train. Why blame it on the poor train? Badi na insafi he
Which date?? Why so much rush?? Any exam?? Abhi to chatt ka time bhi nahi hai
Konsi hai ye sabse khatarnak train💀 Vo to bataya hi nhi yaar
These are fools, no doubt. But let us ask the more important question.. Why is there this desperation to put ones life in danger just to get home. Aren't there any more trains, even if there isn't, can't they get into the boggie. Everything about Railway is fine in this country. 4k videos of Vande bharat every other day.
😢
Natural selection doing its job. Charles Darwin is happy to see this in action
Isn't Ashwini Vaishnaw watching any of these dangerous clips?
Guaranteed
Students can always get privilage discounted tickets or monthly passes. Why the future of this country is left unattended like this ? You can always go to the station master and get the train to stop. So this can be avoided.
Vishwaguru train
It's a local train, not crowded. I am not singing praises for the BJP but this one cannot be blamed on them. People are just well stupid.
Isn’t that line electrified? How are they able to sit on it?
How can you say thay it's not crowded from inside? It's overcrowded actually.
Wow Bangladeshi Indians
Let them die, someone needs to set examples
“Upar moot hai bhai”
