World's Most Dangerous Railway Tracks | India: The Pamban Railway | Free Documentary

The Pamban Railway crosses the tropical landscape of Tamil Nadu, the former Madras, for around 600 kilometers. Heavy storms and rain showers make the route a challenge for Indian Railways to this day. The film accompanies the "Rameswaram Express" over the notorious Pamban Bridge, the first bridge across the Indian Ocean.

U heard right, 30 people per day die on India’s railways. Wow.

I like these documentary videos. They give us an in-depth knowledge about something or a person.

Lots of misinformation!!!
1. Long distance trains in India definitely have a loco driver and an assistant loco driver!! Looks like the shooting was fine by one crew (inside the loco) and the narration was by a completely different crew!!
2. They are showing shots of Srirangapatna railway bridge which is more than 400 kms away from this trains route)

Pakistanis are Indian settlers in afghan land / British establishment of Pakistan 1947 ! I don’t know they don’t like each other 😂

First video in my mother language

why cant you show better part of Railway instead of showing delays and other thing, show the development, is this the way you are putting India, the forth largest economy in the world to the viewers ??

This documentary is not titled correctly. If you want to highlight danger, please do so in the first few minutes; otherwise it’s Clickbait.

Most baseless documentary of British media with incomplete facts and misinformation 🤦‍♂️

The whole documentry is misleading @freedocumentry you failed us

> 1000 female drivers
> 20 deaths a day

Hmmmm 🤔

Lovely 📄 documentary 📹 🚉. ❤

I wonder why Indian Railways don't provide a dignified uniform for loco pilots just like Japan...???

The lady narrator made this like a dead program 😢.... Put some good narrator and relaunch this documentary please

Narrator lady's voice is annoying could have put a older man to narrate the story

To the documentary maker, you still have a lot to learn about india, try evolving from your propagandist mindset.

Indians getting pissed….. caste is there everywhere. Lower castes do menial jobs even in south India

few wrong info:
1. Avg Train speed of 42KMPH is very high in standards of Indian train.
Truth: Most of Express trains in india has AVG speed of 70-90 KMPH.

2. Most of level crossings in India are unpaved.
Almost all Level Crossings in India are Paved and Manned

3. Quiet a few trains disappeared into ocean in this track.
I only know about that unfortunate incident of 1964.

I really don't know whether these little mistakes were unintentional or intentional

As per your documentary it's only the lower-class/untouchables that do the cleaning and other stuff, which is very surprising to me as on what grounds you came to this conclusion because there are no such criteria in Indian Railways,
All the positions are filled on merit basis where caste is never a criterion.

Whole documentary is misleading, all recruitment are happened on merit besis , even in cleaning or any technical or non technical work.

That Labrador was over it lol

Pamban bridge is now closed for safety reason, the new bridge should be ready 2025. Max speed on that old bridge was only 15 km/h. The new bridge is 3 metres higher over sea level that the old one.

I can tell India has improved their railways a lot!

Nice share!

It's a beautiful documentary but people's and city names are mispronounced.

Amazing film . The lady has a wonderful grasp of Indian names . Is she english or Indian ? 😍😍😍😍

The driver is not the sole person in locomotive there is assistant loco pilot too ......rubbish documentary.,.even a school kid can do better 😅

Very foolishly made documentry with lots of misinformation, it seems the director of the documentry have not done any homework on this .....too bad

The locomotives are not of colonial era, and how dare you assume the caste of the cleaning staff? Untouchability is non-existent in India and the cleaning staff has to undergo an entrance test even for cleaning stuff. Tracks do not have human excrement anymore as each and every coach is fitted with a bio toilet. So either get your information right or don't release outdated videos.

Well, Hatsoff to all Locomotive Engineers who are serving greatly in our beautiful railways.

The information what documentary director is protecting uttar nonsense.

Completely BIASED colonial mindset documentary. Shame on you German producers. Multiple factual errors:
1. wrong map of India shown in beginning
2. Hinted on overcrowded trains by saying this time train looks empty
3. Unnecessary jibe at colonial gift of untouchability from British- no, the railway jobs in 2020s are NOT based on caste for sewage cleaners!
4. Saying most of the tracks are from Colonial era- really?
5. Delay of more than 1 day on railways is rampant- seriously? Where are you taking your facts from? The Chinese Government? 😂

Seems we need to verify who funded this joke of a “documentary”.

Love it. This is more of a southern Indian travelogue than just a documentary about a railway. There's a recurring human touch throughout the filming blended with the beautiful landscape. Hope I'll get a visit someday of this beautiful land.

The people from India are warm and friendly.

Today i went there the location is mjnd blowing

Such a poorly researched documentary based on outdated concepts. Too many errors to bother.

What/Where is the proof that 30 people die everyday...You sold out journos to SATISFY YOUR MASTERS...CHANGE...CHANGE TO BECOME A BETTER HUMAN BEING..

Not seeta.... Its seetha..... സീത

Two men with a fetish to be woman are another sex....ofop...😂😂😂😂

No colonial trains or tracks exist. We have our own locomotive and bogies. Commentator should have studied Indian railways before making such vague comment.

These vedio makers complain that in Afghanistan, no women are allowed to work. In India, they're complaining that women are working everywhere. Hypocrites of highest order. 😅

Get your facts right. There's no such thing as untouchables. Only the British promoted this idea when they invaded India.

"Women do the bulk of the heavy lifting"..... we all know that is a lie. Men, who can lift more, are not standing by and allowing the women to do the heavy work. Indian people are far more efficient than that.

Typical BBC type programme..discussing absurd issues...British built railways to suck up Indian resources and transport them to the ports. Real addition happened post independence..whether its conversion to broad guage or railway electrification. And 42 Kmph is NOT fast in Indian standards. Forget Rajdhanis or Shatabdis, even simple superfast trains cover large distances at average speeds of 60-65 Kmph. And none of the coaches or locomotives or lines are from the cursed colonial era..get your facts correct!

What’s dangerous about this??!

It's Train Manager or Guard Not Conductor illiterate Anchor..

That was the cutest little owl chilling on that log🥰
