Roni's India Trip Pt-1: Gwalior

February 5 2012: a full day at Gwalior, taking a car to chase the narrow gauge trains on the Sheopur Kalan line up to Sumaoli and back, then going sightseeing to the Fort and Jai Vilas Palace including the silver dinner train. In the evening I took the Shatabdi to Agra.

What a brilliant album. A perspective rarely seen in a railway album - humans and the railways shown with intrinsic brilliance. Fantastic effort!
