North America we really need to get it together

What are these diamond shaped tracks laid between the actual ones? I asked gemini and it told me these are mostly found under bridges, is that always true?

So I was returning to my hometown from Chennai. I got onboard from the station and within 5 mins of the departure, 4 transgenders came. 2 left and 2 came up to me.

I was the only young person in my birth everybody else belonged to geriatric age grp.

As soon as I heard the claps, I got up and started whisking my bag to look for change. She still came up and asked for money.

I was willingly giving money cause I don't want any trouble . She still harassed me, touched my chest and was trynna put her hands inside my shirt.

and chennai heat is too much so I had kept one button open and she was trying to molest and snatch the chain as well.

Worst part is everybody saw it but nobody even asked her to stop. I was asking her to stop and give me a moment to get change from my bag but still took advantage of me asking for time and touched my chest.

She went by herself after few mins of this fiasco . and then everybody was looking at me.

Mind u, I'm only 21, and I'm not buffed up or anything. I'm kinda lean . She was physically bigger than me. and she knew I won't be able to fight back.

tldr - got molested by a transgender on my way to home from Chennai (clg) and nobody helped.

Boarded from the origin station. The entire AC Chair car was literally empty. Also, they had their seats elsewhere but they chose to sit in front of me despite the adjacent seats also being empty. And then they started talking and playing loud reels continuously. It has been 1.5 hrs.

Also, took away my leg room, wtf.

These bastards do this shit deliberately.

Update: Some very wise people got infuriated in the comments because I didn't ask them first to lower the volume. Asked them, got told, "Next station par utarna hai humein".

Excerpt: A Rajdhani Express was halted temporarily in Assam's Hojai district on Wednesday morning so that a herd of wild elephants could cross the railway track safely.

According to officials, a forest staff member spotted an elephant herd near the railway track in Hawaipur as they tried to cross the track, with the Down Rajdhani Express approaching.

Alert action by the forest staff, the loco-pilot, and the Lumding Railway Control Room ensured the elephant herd crossed the track safely, and the train resumed its journey.

<10 people on the whole coach, and it's practically empty (and got a SL 😋)

Edit: It was a pleasent journey overall.

This was my first time travelling in 1st AC, and honestly, the experience was pretty interesting

I was travelling with my mother, and when we boarded the train, we found out that we had been allotted a 4-berth cabin. It was actually pretty nice having our own private compartment.

The TT came within an hour after the train started, checked our tickets, and left. After that, he didn't knock again.

One thing I noticed was that there were no chai samosa paani wale bhaiya roaming around like they usually do in other trains.There was a pantry, but we didn't try the food because we had brought our own. Later, I heard the pantry food wasn't that great anyway.

Then came the funniest part.

At night, there was another passenger who had been allotted an entire 4-berth cabin to himself. After some time, the TT knocked on his door. There were actually four TTs together, and they wanted to sleep together in that cabin.

So they asked that passenger to shift to our cabin.

At first, I thought maybe he was some other passenger who had just been assigned to our cabin. Later, he told us what had actually happened — the TTs wanted to sleep together, so they moved him out of his cabin and into ours .

Later, he asked us, "Have you eaten food?"

I said yes.

Then he told us that he had bought some food but ended up throwing it away because it was so bad...

Unfortunately, we didn't have any extra food to give him either.

Overall, the journey was comfortable, quiet, and definitely different from my usual train experiences. The privacy of 1st AC was probably the best part.

But the whole "move this passenger because four TTs want to sleep together" situation was definitely the funniest part of the journey 😂.

I was travelling to Patna in Capital express 3rd ac when some illiterate people I don’t wanna expose who they were I will just tell you they were going for Monday morning thing .
They destroyed and even made the washroom dirtier and they didn’t even had a ticket to show (they were climbing the upper berth infront of me when the other guy told him not to do so in ac then they left and shouted a lot late night)
I complained about it 2 times both time they cleaned the toilet but the 3rd time this happened and I was shocked to see it

Note-I don't have any foot fetish. Visuals only help in, better understanding and connecting with the situation.

Since a while these incidents have become rampant . Less priority trains getting looped at a station for overtake and these people start shouting , threating LP to move the train . Worse there were few videos where the train that is overtaking is pelted with stones by these idiots. Here,they are literally threating and banging doors of an on duty LP to move and give a laugh after banging as if they have achieved something . If these are people who are gonna be the next generation, this country is doomed for real.
