Indian Railways has various categories of trains, and it's a tradition that new trains are launched with a new design or livery. However, some recent train not only introduced with new categories or designs,but also withmodifying the interior coaches.Till this point all things looking good but from some years passengers have been experiencing a new kind of twist, which many might not be aware of. The importance of uniform livery coaches has been ignored by the railways.Additionally a bigger scam type is that Humsafar and Mahamana Express trains in present days just running with normal coaches (Note - 3E Economy suffocated type coaches also can't be a substitute of HS & MH exp).These trains were launched as projects with new designs and modified features, but now only Humsafar and Mahamana Express are using as a category. If you observe, Indian Railways already has sufficient train categories like Garibrath, Rajdhani, Normal Express, SF Express, AC Express, Jansadharan Express, Double Decker Express, Shatabdi Express, and Janshatabdi Express.If you want a good journey experience (excluding traveling to the capital), then #ACExpress is a good option. However, Duranto, Humsafar (modified and non-modified interior), Mahamana Express (modified interior), and Antyodaya trains have been launched with different fare structures, which are even higher than daily commute trains.Railways might be the lifeline, but this is also a business line. If railways can new new catagory of trains by increasing fares by making 15/20 changes then aesthetic importance should also be considered, as it plays a vital role in journey experiences and train identification. But after concentrating on Vande Bharat,Bullet trains,RRTS type things , A1 stations specially to highlight these things in public they are not giving that much response to these trains। Concentrating on these things are not crime but not giving importance to these trains due to those things is like a crime।In Business also aesthetic have much important position.

Re# 6526688-4              
Yes correct. Good observation. Yes u can call it a SCAM by IR of looting passengers by not providing what promised but taking higher ticket prices from them.
Antodaya fares 15% higher from normal GS coaches fare in any train. Antodaya coaches had different livery with different features like RO water in coaches, smoke alarms, fire extinguisher, etc.
But nowadays IR is mixing Antodaya trains with maximum coaches not of antodaya standard. Normal GS coaches are added to antodaya trains which do not have all those facilities promised by IR but
...

fares r higher.
Similarly for Humsafar trains, most coaches of Humsafar trains are red LHB coaches which doesn't have the facilities many times that was promised in Humsafar trains like CCTV, smoke detectors, tea coffee machines ( not in many Humsafar livery coaches also), etc but fares r 15-20% higher than normal 3A coaches in any other train.
In SER all Humsafar trains are have max nos of Red LHB coaches instead of Humsafar livery coaches and even some coaches are old LHB coaches which doesn't have max of the features even.

I know that Duranto have dynamic fare but you didn't understand that point . You understood just Humsafar and mahamana express point i think . I have clearly told that Duranto doesn't needed except capital of India . AC express can do the job of duranto also . See the example of photos thoroughly,you will understand . But if we see the point of catagory trains then in business world these things happen and people also accept that . But atleast we deserve duranto livery coaches due to too much fare which we didn't need , plus we are getting AC EXPRESS coaches ( Red coaches ) & from any point 3E Coaches doesn't deserve except Garib Rath . If we getting red Coaches and if the service can be done by AC express then railway should focus on duranto livery providing. SEE THE FARES PHOTO THOROUGHLY

No country in the world has 20 different types of trains except in India. AC Express should be the supergroup for Rajdhani, Duronto and all full AC trains. There is no need for furthur categorization.

If you're not using a freaking DSLR at stations, along with not getting in their faces, railway personnel don't mind. I've taken photos at PRYJ during Mahakumbh when RPF were literally everywhere.

That being said, BSB has one of the nicest railway staff, and the ones at LKO never seem to mind, even when I was trying to set a perfect frame for the presidential train.

I agree, some people aren't so easygoing around the authorities, but the photos can be framed better. Plus, I think photographing while trying to look like you aren't doing it rather seems more suspicious.

Siddharth has already told you what measures you can take to enhance the quality. So my two cents is, take the photo for keeping them, not just for the uploads.

@krik I just want you to say that as Railfan, You're putting efforts into covering different stations and trains. You just need to upgrade the quality of the pictures.

Earlier during my school days, I was also afraid of
RPF and ultimately got a side loco pics, but when you spend time you will get to know how the thing works. If you

have fear try some suggestions because I cope with these things.

Doing long Rf sessions at LKO like the station is far easier than BNZ, and LC. I use both a phone and a camera. If you're clicking a Loco pic, you have to be patient and wait for the crew to begin with the equipment inspection or paperwork inside the locomotive. That's the best moment for clicking a good pic.

For SLR Train Boards if unloading staff is there, they never say much, but still you want then you have to wait for them to leave that place. That's the only option or go for other Coaches.

Try to take images in landscape mode or before uploading images edit the images, put the images in the ratio of 7:5. Pic is perfect at this ratio for IRI.

The orientation of the images should be considered before uploading. You can also correct through the editor.

Try it and let us know.

For stations, It's not an issue. I have been to some small stations in the vicinity of LKO [both on CNB line and RBL line] and getting proper landscaped images was easy. For LKO, it's sometimes a mix of portrait and landscape.

I will try for more images in landscape mode from now.
