India’s Disappearing Railways Angus McDonald
These railways lace through the hills and mountains of India, and the book’s beautiful photographs are an intimate and humorous portrait of life on the trains, which evokes the very soul of India; illustrating, with a rare empathy and insight, the lives of those who ride them, who work on them, and who live alongside them. Yet as the nation modernises, these railways, whether in the snow-peaked Himalaya, the terai of Rajasthan or the verdant Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu, are vanishing. India’s Disappearing Railways records a way of life that is slowly disappearing and documents the diversity of this vast and multi-layered country from a unique standpoint.
