Hi Luggers,
We took the train from Delhi to Ranthambhore. Traveling by train in  
India is a visual feast.
Here are a few pictures from Delhi Station.

The local train passed by while we were waiting for the Rajdhani  
Express:

I was worried about the weight of suitcases and camera bags. Jayanand  
said not
to worry about it. The railway porters were plentiful and strong!
Here's the picture.

The train is so crowded that some people ride between the cars where no
ticket is needed.

The search for Tigers in Ranthambhore begins in tomorrow's posting.
