My first train ride ever, was on a steam engine, and that was back in 1989 when I was very little.

I am fortunate enough to have seen the time when steam locomotives were the ultimate rulers of the Indian railways. A time when spotting a diesel or an electric locomotive was rarity, these powerful machines bore the burden of the nation. A machine that was powerful, robust yet so humane that it could bring a big smile on the faces of weeping kids.

I remember travelling by Howrah Mail from Chennai during my boyhood days, with mum dad and my sister. This was during the years 1989-1990. I would sit in the coach (my train was driven by an electric locomotive - and a diesel for some parts of the journey). I could look out of the window and see the steam engines in Chennai Central station.

When I saw this documentary on TV in the year 1999, i cried so hard. Some things shall never, and better not be forgotten. The Great Indian Railways !!!!!

This is the most beautiful documentry that I have ever seen. The visualizations are epic and music is cinematic. It is no less than a masterpiece.  You believe for a moment that trains do have souls. Emotionally it takes you to a wonderful place that is slowly dying.

Really, if youve seen these trains in real life, the sounds of the steam, the smells and sights, and if youve been around them long enough it becomes quite clear why so many people love them. For they in a sense do have a living soul. The soul created by the people who love them.
