1/31/2006: Loaded train



I always go for these third world loaded train images. Something draws me in about them - the masses, getting from point A to point B without a lot of money. In this case it's Bangladesh, Muslims returning home from a three-day prayer gathering.

I'd like to see the Ticket Inspector check all those tickets to make sure they have paid the correct price. :p

See the guys on the front, pointing out ahead? They're the guides. "Keep going straight, man...that's it, forward, forward. Clean and green as far as the eye can see, yessir..."

How do you think they deal with their overpopulation problem? They can't count on natural disasters.
