The 22:40 is coming in.

Bhopal Junction at night, its green BHOPAL Jn. sign lit over the entrance, people walking in with bags

GS01 / 05

Bhopal Junction, 22:10.

Autos idling at the gate, a queue at the enquiry window and a green sign you can read from the main road. Everyone checks the board twice, then once more.

A vendor's cart of snacks and drinks on bicycle wheels beside a blue sleeper class coach

S202 / 05

The cart knows the timetable.

Chai, samosa, cold water and a packet of biscuits, all on two bicycle wheels. The man pushing it knows exactly how long the train will stand, and he is never wrong.

A window berth inside a three-tier coach, light coming through the barred window

S403 / 05

Side lower, berth 31.

The best seat on the train: a window of your own, two steel bars to rest an arm on, and the whole of Madhya Pradesh going past in the dark.

Cooks in a narrow railway kitchen coach plating buns and meals on a steel counter

PC04 / 05

A kitchen as wide as a corridor.

Order at 22:50, eat at 23:20, sleep before Bina. Dinner comes on a steel tray, and somehow the dal is still hot three coaches down.

A red coach standing at a dim platform at night, passengers waiting under the canopy

SLR05 / 05

Green lamp. Long horn.

The guard leans out with a green lamp, the engine answers, and the platform starts to slide away. Find your berth. We leave on time.
