Hello my IRI frds....good morning
I am writing this blog to requesting you to take care of few things as following:
1.yesterday i was watching rail video of SBC rajdhani....video was awesume...great work by the railfan....but one thing disappoint me..that is door plating.....traveller was doing lot of door plating when train was running at MPS....we know very well that what's the MPS of rajdhanis...even traveller doing it at the curves too.....i m shocked....i was just thinking of safety of that person... if in case,any mishappening ....what would be the result...????
So
...
more...
its my request to all frds that do nt do this.... if you want to do....do it when train is in slow speed with safety ....becoz life is precious.... think about ur family first..
2.now the festival season is arriving.... all of us are excited... try to avoid railfanning at big junctions for ur safety becoz security agencies are watching each and every thing...it is their duty to make the people safe and sound..we can nt blame them....recently our rail fan caught by the TTE in patna taking pics of trains...but luckily he got escaped from that trouble.
Do the rail fanning with all safety aspects.....
I know that you are responsible and mature people....and will consider my request....
Thank you
जय हिन्द।

Just ignore. If they fall and die, it's their loss. If you search on YouTube, you'll find videos wherein people stand on mainlines in double/triple line sections and shoot videos. They are responsible for their actions and if someday people thrash these so called railfans or they get runover, then they'll learn. And there are the so-called senior railfans who definitely deserve to get thrashed in public. They think that just because they own a camera and have an affinity for trains, they have all the EFFing rights in the world to stand like a boss on platforms and shoot videos or pictures regardless of how the people around them might feel. Clicking casual pics/videos while at crowded stations where the fellow passengers will not doubt your intentions is fine but acting like BBC documentary photographers is not.
P.S.

I know I'll get a lot of hate for this comment but I don't care. :)

Snapping pictures/videos from live tracks needs immediate stopping. When I stand just behind the boundary line drawn on the platform and a train passes, I feel so scared. Railfanning is indeed a risky hobby but if you are watchful and take safety precautions, it is really great.
A cautious railfan is any day better than a dead railfan!!

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
