India's Disappearing Railways is a vibrant photo essay by Australian photojournalist Angus McDonald (d2013). His work captures for the first time in print the India's unique narrow—gauge railways in all their vivid colour, chaos, and humanity... with rare empathy and insight, and illustrate the lives of those people who ride the trains, those who work on them, and those who live alongside them. India's unique narrow gauge lines are fast disappearing as the nation converts to broad—gauge travel. As a result, this unique portrait, which documents the diversity and multi—layered way of life is especially poignant.
