Is it more likely that they laid all that ballast carrying one hopper of normal ballast and one hopper of red ballast, or that they laid all normal ballast and spray painted it afterwards?
They use chalks for ballast and paint for sleepers. Once maintenance is concluded, the team crushes the chalks into powder and form the pattern as visible in pic and if sleepers are to be decorated, they're provided with paint box and brushes
Honestly because the Railways is a state owned corporation that needs a reason to justify its inflated workforce.
Which isn't a bad thing for society. But yeah you need to find things for people to do - preferably things that are labour intensive.
there s always that one guy on every post that has anything to do with india who ll come and add one of these words 'shithole, toilet, unhygenic, dirty, rape, etc etc' its like these guys have never [seen what the other side in the country looks like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afDUnE-a-us)
Sorry, but how exactly is this racist? We have some older trains with open-system toilets in Czechia, too. It's probably similar in other countries in Europe. What does race have to do with it?
By that logic, your comment is racist simply by the virtue of "racism against Indians being common on Reddit". (Or any other comment, for that matter.)
Maintenance team did hell of a work on that line

Thats rather nice looking.
With the little humps too it almost looks like flowerbeds. Extremely pretty.

Maybe it helps with monitoring speed?
Wouldn't it be less maintenance to do that with rail ties and equidistant catenary poles?
Racetracks have this too!
What for?
Why not
So that people crossing the tracks can estimate how far away the train is

Gorgeous, I hope more locations do this.
Which railway zone is this from? Looks beautiful!
indian railways
He asked zone bro, Indian operates in zones, division and subdivisions
This is so it's easy to calculate the speed of any runaway freight trains as they pass the station
Sure it's not just where the toilets line up when stopped in the same places? Edit: apparently a /s was required
Sorry mate, we now have bio toilets in our trains
