The Great Indian Railway
Description
One of the world's largest systems, India's trains carry more than 12 million passengers and one million tons of freight over 40,000 miles of track each day. Not only does this train system physically link distant regions, it also connects the myriad of castes, languages, and religions that comprise India. Ride the sumptuous Palace on Wheels through Rajasthan or the "toy train" to Darjeeling. At the Black Beauty contest, the beloved steam engines are admired for the last time. Many are the faces, and varied are the stories. Climb aboard! Stops include Calcutta and Bombay, remote villages, wondrous palaces, and hill towns in the majestic Himalayas.
