The Indian Railway system is marvelous in its own way. The best way to see India is at ground level on the Indian railway system.  In fact, no visit to India would be complete without the experience of travelling on Indian trains. With 63,000 km of rail routes and 6,800 stations, the railway network in India is the third  biggest in the world after Russia and China, and the biggest in the world in terms of passenger kilometres.  Indian Railways are also the world's biggest employer, with over 1.5 million staff. It's easy to check train times & fares for any journey in India at www.indianrail.gov.in, the official Indian Railways website.
