BBC - India's Frontier Railways (2015) Part 2 Last Train in Nepal

India’s Frontier Railways

Three-part series about trains crossing borders in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, reconnecting families, cultures and history

Part 2: Last Train in Nepal

In the second episode we observe a train as it crosses the border between India and Nepal along a line that runs for 20 miles from the town of Janakpur to the Indian junction of Jaynagar. The film reveals how the line is now under threat of closure following a starvation of funds from the Indian government, which has left the train and the track in a state of disrepair. Derailments have become commonplace, but it is a lifeline for many members of the community including Regina who makes a living as a smuggler of small household goods and Aarman who is a ticket collector.
