Mani Vijay

Since July 1992, my camcorder has been a faithful companion during all of my IR journeys. Footage is based on trips all over India, including the pristine but almost extinct metre gauge network. I invite you to step into the amazing, sometimes chaotic, yet fascinating world of Indian Railways. Discover what's changed, and what hasn't, in the last thirty three years!
