    1:11 "Reading the timetable books"
    Nostalgia hit hard there. I can still feel my childhood's excitement when I used to go through the timetable books looking for trains to my native place for summer vacations, then immediately speeding off to the reservation counter, filling up the form, standing in long queues and ultimately the relief on getting *confirmed* tickets at the counter.
    Lost, but never forgotten, simple days.

      Kashmir has more than hills and mountains. Kashmir valleys are better than anything north east has.

Outstanding work here . Kudos kudos. Features like these are real travel documents that makes a person yearn to make such trips. Thank you so much for making and sharing such a video with us.

    When I was in college I got a chance to travel to Silchar from Lumding, that time the track was Meter gauge and the month was May ...Spring has just passed and the greenery was at its pick....view was awesome...though the journey was delayed due to it's all the notorious reasons that time, we had enjoyed a lot and it's able to occupy my mind among the memorable train journeys that I had make in my life till now.....u r this presentation makes me nostalgic.

    Great video! Thanks for a trip down memory lane. As a school-kid, many many years back (1970-72), I traveled a number of times to Mizoram where my father was posted. During one such trip, we took the train trip from Gauhati to Silchar - an almost 24-hour journey on the meter-gauge line. It was probably the most beautiful train trip I ever took, perhaps with the exception of the immediately prior trip from Lucknow to Gauhati - especially between Jalpaiguri to Gauhati. The good part - we traveled during school vacation when monsoons were in - and it was just so incredibly beautiful! The North East, as you said, IS a beautiful and unexploited region of India - and I hope your video helps more people discover it. Thanks again.

I wish I could see northeast India in such a way. Because northeast India is greatly neglected to be a travel ground, it is totally unknown to the ordinary travelers. And yes, this video should be translated Bangla and Hindi languages than it will increase the popularity of the video. Thank you very much for this beautiful informational presentation. With best wishes...from Bangladesh.

    This is one of the best railfanning videos I've seen from NFR. That forest fire shot made the video all the more exclusive. Compliments for taking time out to document this one and taking us through a nice, brief tour of the mountains.
    BTW, I've the three following questions. Please explain them.
    1) At 01:40 and 01:46 I see two haulers and two bankers respectively. Is that common over there? Do most trains run with a pair of locos on each end?
    2) At 09:23 I see a a tunnel below. Was that an abandoned tunnel from the MG line, or was it for some other purpose?
    3) I believe, the EMDs on that route are from SGUJ and PA, but where are the ALCos from? MLDT?
