A Press Information Bureau(PIB) picture with the following caption on the backside. "The railway system is India's biggest nationalised undertaking. The railways run about 10,800 trains, carry nearly 6.6 million passengers and 600,000 tonnes of goods every day. The biggest stride has been made in the production of locomotives, rolling stock and other equipment. India is now exporting rolling stock and equipment to Asian, African and European countries.
