On this day, one of the many things I did was to go to the railway station..... This station is called Chennai Central..... You can either buy your tickets online or stand behind the screen..... As you can see, Deepak is showing me where to go........ This railway station for traveling within the country of India. Across the street there was another station for the local Chennai trains....... ALL ABOARD!
If you left your water at home, there were these troughs to fill up your water bottles...... If I were you, don't leave your water bottles at home!
If you want you can get someone to help you with your bags..... This is a scene is out of a movie. Notice the old guy in the background, the guys in the foreground are carrying his bags.....
This huge building holds 2 huge waiting areas. This is where you wait for your train to arrive. Some people actually sit on the floors while they wait.
This guy is saying good by to his wife through the window and I'm pretending to go for a ride.....
I also had the opportunity to board the engine to see all controls and how the engineers work the train..... It's not the kind of job you'd want. I'd rather be a pilot!
All the trains are electric.
All the trains are electric.
Before your travels, you can buy your Indian Sweets. They even make fast food Indian if your in a hurry.....
Here's the basic magazine stand and if you brought a bomb with you, they also have a bomb dept. to detect them....... WOW!
And of course, they have scales to check your weight and to give out predictions....... Sorry I can't tell you my prediction!
Play this movie to see how close you can come to missing you train!
Enjoy!

The video worked real great! You just run and jump in! Cool! India is famous for trains. There is one that runs across the whole country and is world famous. Lots of movies were made with this train system in the BG.
Thanks for a full and complete report! Good job!
