Sreedharan still prefers trains for long journeys if he can help it. One does not experience the tranquillity of the train journey on any other means of travel. The train is the best place to be to read, to immerse oneself in one’s thoughts, to sleep, or to simply rest. Sreedharan had devised many enjoyable ways to pass the time on his journeys. He especially likes to watch fellow passengers enter and exit trains, and simply savour the mundane, everyday railway sights that catch his attention.
