Discussions are in the English language. For instructions on joining the mailing list, see below . Please note the guidelines on participation provided towards the bottom of this page. The list was operational on August 29, 1989. The first incarnation of the list had just 9 members exchanging e-mail directly.
Many members are interested in current passenger services, routes, timetables, etc.
Others are more interested in technical details of railway operations, motive power, rolling stock, etc. Yet others are interested in historical aspects of trains in India and the subcontinent. We also get travelogues and descriptions of railfanning trips made by members. Occasionally we also discuss railways in neighbouring countries or elsewhere in the world. The message archives here are not available to non-members.
