Varanasi to Bhusaval by Mahanagri Exp. - July 1992 

I was not born dt time but still it feels good to see our india of dt era!Thnx vijay sir for this video!😊

The effort must be appreciated. I can't express my gratitude to provide these memories ❣️

From this I gather that there were most of the stations at that time. At that time, the railway station was electrified. Many stations were electrified in the 70s and today they have become very old. Now efforts are being made to replace and renovate them so that their electrification life is maintained. Kanpur Central is the busiest railway station in India. Kanpur Central was electrified in 1971 itself. Now Kanpur Central has been newly developed and its electrification has been maintained. Work to promote electrification has already been done in India and today it has become successful. India has the highest electrification and railway network and nowhere else. Thank You for uploading video, it's an great and awesome ❤🎉

I just relived my memories off the 90's. We used to travel once a year back forth from Mumbai to Allahabad. Loved to be seated on the window side, enjoying the chugging and honking of trains. Really miss those days. Thanks for the video Mr. Mani Vijay.

Damn Man! These clips are treasure... I was born in 2000 and this guy was freakin vlogging in 1992! Way ahead of time he was.... hats off

Laal dabbe dekhkar aasu aa gaye ji😢😢, apne bachpan ki yaad dila di

Life was simple no internet, no mobile phones, no gopro people were busy and happy in their own world...no one was bothered to capture these precious travel moments bcz very few people were having any camera or recorder to capture these moments😢

मुझे ये टाइम याद है, 1992 में मैं आठ साल का था। स्टीम लोकोस से हम जब कलकत्ता जाते थे तब सारा मुहँ काला हो जाता था, होंठ फट जाते थे। हिमगिरी एक्सप्रेस में हम जाते थे। मुझे ये देखकर अपना बचपन याद आ गया। आपका बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद सर वीडियो डालने के लिए।

36:50 it was a lovely locomotive 👌❤️

those days this was a pure diesel lovers paradise 👍you absolutely rock sir🙏

Mujhe aysa feel ho Raha hai ke Mai time travel kar ke past me chal gaya h😅

Incredible, I am a ALCO fan, lovely track sounds, mesmerising chugging sounds of ALCO, the lovely smell of ALCO's diesel smoke and the beautiful horn of ALCO.............golden era of 90's when we had everything all together The legendary steams, ALCO's, electric locos as well and meter guaze trains were there also at that time and now they are almost going away with time, we are very lucky to have seen live with our own eyes all those things. Incredible time that was. We are soo lucky to have seen all these together. Thanks a lot Mani sir for uploading this prescious video.

Couldn't have imagined IR back then !! It really was, is and will remain a gem 💎❤

Sir, you are a time machine for us. Thank you so much for such golden videos 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great footage of bygone era.!!.. Really precious gems..!! Used to love the chugging sound of diesel locos especially in ghats during nights... And the rhythmic chugging of steam locos... Not to mention the smell of smoke..!! Sheer nostalgia.. 👌👌

Sir my MG travel was chozhan express between egmore and mayiladuthurai where my grandparents used to live in 1980s.Every Sumner vacation used to take train from egmore to mayuram .....returning by cholan or boat mail.boat mail was steam hauled till villupuram from where it used have eloco to egmore.cholan being a super fast was diesal hauled from trichy to villupuram then eloco YAM used to get attached. These are my first train experience either MG or BG.Then my father got transferred to Delhi.I traveled first time GT express first class 1984. Big train BG.cream and orange livery...By the time my grandparents settled in chennai from mayuram..every summer vacation we used to take GT or Tamil nadu sleeper train to Madras and return by AC coach...😥😥😥😭😭memories sir no camera no mobile no footage just memories.....

I'm from Varanasi and was showing this to my dad and he loved it and started telling me about narrow gauge lines😀

Sir from bottom of my heart I am telling this you and your videos are gift for this generation. We never ever imagined how would vintage railways would be but due your efforts at that time we are able to recreate our lovely vintage Indian Railways and how our states where there at that time. this is equal to Discovery documentaries. You are filling peoples heart with love through your videos

I have spent my childhood days near Allahabad Rly station(1994-2000)....I use to live in Rly colony and my Father was posted here..whenever we have to catch the train we use to come through Yard...of Allahabad...thanks for reviving the memory

I am from Prayagraj and I am so familiar with this route becoz I always travel from allahabad to jabalpur becoz jabalpur in my nanihal... And I not from 90s so it's very fascinating to see old 90s trains journey and my city😍😍❤

In those days, vlogging was rare i think, thank you for such wonderful shots and reminding those old days 🙏

The first fifteen minutes of this video is pure magic. A good run down of the layout between BSB and Kashi, with the NER line very well captured.

Mani Sir . Where have you been hiding these treasures . Supperb videos and nostalgic. Just love it . You should be awarded with the 1st ever rail fanning award 😍😍😍

Beautiful footage sir!😅😢 Travelled a lot in 90s between Jabalpur and Jalgaon/Nasik. Few of them in the Mahanagari😍 feeling nostalgic... Childhood brought back😍🥹🥹 Thanks🙏🏼

So memorable !!!!!!!!!!! Varanasi is my home town and to see these scenes is so heartwarming. Thank you so much!

This video is way ahead of it time, no Android no you tube, no mobile phones even, but only enthusiasm

Indeed.you ate true railfan.. I was born in 1990 few things I remember about these red old train rakes, alcos and WDM's. I use to travel pune to delhi. Great work

So many WDM4 together!!! As usual sir you are the video historian of IR from 1990s. You have covered the golden DC era, golden MG era(EMU+Electric+YDM4), rare AC electrics(WAM1, WAM2, WAM3)

Is Video Ko upload karne ka bahut bahut shukria Hamari 90's ki yaden taza hogayin Is mahanagri express ke is rack se ham ne us zamane men bahut travel kiya hai mumbai-varanasi-mumbai Video dekh kar maza aagaya

Sir hm ye video hamare janm ke 7 year pahale ka hy aj meri 24 year mujhe vo dekhane ko mila jo hamne kabhi apne jivan me ab tak nahi dekho hamne varansi se allhabad ke bich ka jo safer dekha bahut adbhud tha thanks sir

My god, nearly 30 years back😍😍😍😍

Thank you Sir for posting such a vintage video its so nice to see those steam locomotives

Wow vlogger from 1992 so glad to see this video. That train track sound is so soothing ❤

Wow, choking with emotions. I was a young lad in the early 90s and was a vagabond of sorts much to my old man's chagrin. All those ticketless journeys I took in those days came back to me. As a fit athletic lad I remember hopping off running trains if I saw a TC approaching. Those carefree days with no mobile phones and just 20-30 rupees in my pocket, sometimes nothing....I would just hop onto any train on my days off school or college. Sometimes walking back or hitchhiking. Looking back now as a father myself, I now realize why my old man used to be so pissed off at me those days. He passed away last year and watching this video brought back all those train travels with them as a child and later my own testosterone fuelled carefree adventures as a teenager. That camcorder must have cost you a fortune back then. Which one was it ? Is it still with you and working ?

Classic Memories❤ I was not born then but always Happy to see the classic Simple Era even if that is of our Country India or Foreigns❤

5:43 thanks for recording this. WDM4 humming sound is very rare even I have searched a lot but no footage is available. Really gem

Tks for 90's video... gr8 sirji

Nostalgia. Seeing the Varanasi railway station from the past. It was the same all these years. The flyover bridge outside the station was recently built perhaps. ❤

The best thing is ..camera was a rarity at those days and you had it in your hand. And to add the charm, you knew how to operate a camera being a hard core railfan at those young ages. We have those faint memories of travelling in steam hauled trains and the younger generation who havnt seen these yesteryear operation can from the late 90s can see them atleast through your video. Thanks Mani sir. !

Mani Sir, thanks a lot for bringing this old book back to the library. I was a regular traveler between Mum-Qln and the Mumbai Suburban section from the 80's till the time I shifted to the US. Now back in Indian and back on IR. The .change has been humungous and even though we cherish those memories, things are far better now. The resemblance of the sound between the WDM 4 and the present day EMD's is uncanny, after all parents of both are the same. Kudos to you.

Mani vijay ji you are my one of Ligendary indian railway bloggers and my all time hit suprb and inspiration indian vloggers. Sir Hats up to you sir 👏 👍 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

I'm gonna save this in my playlist. This is pure Gold❤ A clip captured 31 years earlier. Wow. Who would have thought that more than 3 decades old. The sound of the tracks oh so soothing especially when it's pitch dark :)

9:19 such a rare scene 😭. WDM2+WDM4 ❤️

its soooo vintage man!!! this is a real gem vlog!! thankyou for uploading it

Another awesome video 1990's IR era of pure Alco journeys but now these are very rare due to electrification..et-ald now pryj. was fully electrified in 2019 one of the fastest alco sections of IR...also for the the first time i came to know about dual guage tracks in IR netwrok it is really mesmerizing.....!

Brilliant Mani Vijay! Brings back a whole baggage of nostalgia!! Kudos to you for recording such lengthy footage back in those days when everything had to be recorded on actual tape, and cassettes were so costly in India those days. 👌 TYSM for posting this video. 🙏

Thankyousomuch for always giving these snippets of our lovely Indian Railways...always wondered how trains look like in 90s, thanks for these amazing videos.

These are invaluable captures. Thank you for preserving these videos Mani Sir !!!

Sarnath express is so old 😮 this train used to connect my hometown durg chhattisgarh to varanasi which later got extended to chhapra

Gorgeous Locomotives, especially the WDM4, the first EMD of IR

Thank you for uploading this sir. Please keep it here forever.

Thank you very much Sir. I am refreshed watching the steam engine and red ICF coaches.

I was born in 2005 its so good and overwhelming. Not only as IR fan but also watching the 90's era in reality which even movies didn't show the true dressing style and traffic and Tata trucks everthing is just awesome I literally don't have words for it and also I guess you are rich cause having a camera in 90's and also recording just a travel must be costly at that time thank you so mucj sir for sharing this video.

It's great to see these video is shooted before my birth i can clearly see my station that time

Thanks for documenting the journey.

What a beautiful surroundings ❤ the rsilway tracks were not painted with gutka colour, the varanasi ghats were peaceful, people were busy with their own ones, a world free from all negative impacts of technological advancements. Can you even see the clear sky in broad day light at a city like Varanasi ? Now a days its mostly filled up with smog and pollution. What an era it was. Thank you for capturing and sharing these amszing moments ❤

From onwards I am the fan of this Man.. In my whole life this is the best video I ever seen it brings my awesome memories back. Since last week I was searching old train videos but now only I found...Really thanks for uploading...

90's this is my childhood memory returns again .. thanks for this video.

I was not born at that time, but still it's nostalgic for me 😇❤❤

Wow this is soo good. I miss these sounds. The surroundings look so green and clean. Look at the platforms! So neat 😮

I remember Jackie Shroff vlog with his handicam in one of the bollywood movies back in 80's.

as I always says again we got a golden capture from the father of rail fanning👌👌👌

Wowwww....thanks for sharing this! The video is pure bliss and track sounds are so magical.

I have tears in my eyes after watching your videos. I miss my childhood memories 😢😢

Wow. Such a gem 💎 of a video. Kudos ro you Mr Mani for shooting this and loading here on RU-vid do that people like me who had soent their childhood in 90s can go back in time and recall the train journey memories of 90s. The coaches of Indian trains transitioned to blue colour towards 1999-2000. Train journey was a beautiful experience those days. I had been to this route ( Allahabad - Varanasi) in October, 1991 with my parents on Neelanchal Express which starts from Puri in Odisha. We got down at Allahabad station ❤. But one thing is platforms are better now and well maintained and clean compared to those days.

Aapne us time blogging ki hai jab koi ye sab janta b nhi tha.. itni acchi quality ki videos, or post abhi ke time kiya hai ye ... really great sir...thanks for the videos❤️🔥

Great video Vijay!! Thanks a lot . Enjoyed watching every moment. Very Nostalgic. 👍 .😀

There's big difference b/w 1992's India & 2023's India, Old is Gold ✨💯👌👍

There was something in Indian Railways at those times!!!!The "RAW POWER 😎💪😈👿"of the Alco engines,the smell of smoke,the chuk~chuk sound of the Steam engines🚂💣{even today,some people describe train's sound as chuk~chuk},the legendary disciplined liveries of the trains which is missing now with either huge advertising stickers or with too much of complex designs and paintings on the coaches and engines,the well maintained speeds,the sweet rythym of the trains while running,the track sounds💣💚,the creativity in making the liveries,such as some Alcos used to have green colour at the bottom of the maroon coloured Alcos,whereas,Indian Railways now use only limited no.of colours and so on,the dual gauges 'nd so on!!!!!! Secondly,ahhhh!!!!!Those golden 90's!!!!!{I'm getting goosebumps while describing these golden indescribables!}!!!!! Those were the times of simplicity,down~to~earthnessess,creativities,pure emotional bonds, innocence,original happiness,original mindfulness in most of the things!!!!!There was a smell of soil and fresh air and essences of genuinity in most of the things🌱!!!!!The Malgudi days,,,, Shaktimaan,,,,Bobby Deol with long hair, Sachin Tendulkar,Vinod Kamble,Mahabharat💣🚩🌙,Ramayan🚩🌙🌱💣,The Undertaker 😈👿💣🌙🔔🕯️⚱️⚰️🌵🦇💀👿🖤in WWF{now WWE},Baichung Bhutia, Shahrukh Khan,Sunny Deol,Anil Kapoor,Rahul Roy,the melodious era of Kumar Shanu,Chandan Das,"Bhagan~Samrat"Anup Jalota,Jagjit Singh,Chitra Singh, Ghulam Ali,Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,Udit Narayan, Abhijit,Lata Mangeshkar,Asha Bhosle,Pankaj Udas,Suresh Wadekar,Mahendra Kapoor, Mohammad Aziz,Vinot Rathore,Bala Subramaniam, Anuradha Paudwal, Kavita Krishnamurthy,Alka Yagnik, Sadhna Sargam, Nadeem~Shravan,Palash Sen{who can forget his song,Maheri} and so on💘🧡💚💜💛🖤🧡💚❤️💚!!!!! Most of the people were also genuine minded,emotionally connected and grounded!!!!! The essence of these qualities was impacted in train journeys/trips also!!!!! People used to share their albums, pictures,thoughts,food, sometimes their seats for childrens with each other!!!!!Some co~passengers also became close relatives in the future!!!!! No one felt like a stranger,even if they were travelling in the train,alone!!!!!!No hecticness,no business in phones,less quarrels with passengers!!!!!There was a homely feeling in trains,those days!!!! There was a long rail~strike once in Katwa Station of West Bengal and we were in Teesta Torhsa Express🚂 & we were suffering in train in the hot summer!!!! Everyone kept wet towels in the windows,my Ma took me to a tube~well in station to bathe me,we along with some co~passengers,shared our food,snacks and buyed fruits or teas from hockers and shared those,among us!!!!!One didi,gathered all the kids including me,in the coach and told stories to us and kept us busy from getting bored and running here and there,as she knew us for a long time and as she is our guardian!!!!!!This was around 1998-99!!!!! Those were the down~to~earth days of trueness, emotional attachments,essences of originality and greenary and so on!!!!!! Our Indian Railways is now just progressive nowadays!!!!!At those times,it was progressive and beautiful as well!!!!!Those engines, coaches, stations,vapour lights,liveries, passengers, got stuck with our emotions!!!!!! Hopefully,those spans comes back!!!!!No fakeness,no materialisticness and more essence of soil,rawness and greenery in most of the things and hopefully,the Indian trains becomes our "RAILGARIS🚂🌋",again!!!!!😢 Anyways: Sorry,for making this a too-lengthy statement! Stay blessed and take care!!!!!! Vande Ma Taram 🇮🇳!
