I lived in China in the 80's and never saw anything like this.
Have any forum members traveled like this?

My sister-in-law once rode atop a boxcar in Peru on a trip there.
These overcrowd ferry boats are among those that occasionally capsize and half the people are eaten by crocodiles!
Don't even think about collecting tickets.

It would be interesting to know the statistics on deaths and injuries on this line.
GOOD GRIEF!!
Can you imagine the field day the lawyers in this country would have if someone was injured or killed on a train like this?
Absolutely unbelievable!
contraception must be a novelty in those parts.
reminds me of a NJ Transit ride any work day afternoon!
the dude on the front coupler takes the meaning of 'riding on the head end" to a whole new level for sure!
on this one you can't even see the front!
I can understand why people want to ride on the outside. They don't wear deoderant in those places.
Kent in SD
Wonder if many folks bought a ticket. Don
I wonder how many fall off? That's one way to keep the axles greased I guess....
... And how exactly do the passengers expect the engineer to see where he's going, and know when he's reached the next station?

I'll bet it gets really interesting if the train has to go under a low bridge or enters a tunnel!

I expect that those on the front will knock on the windows to let him know when to stop. 
I thought about modeling this but I would go broke buying 1/48 people.
Amazingly dangerous to travel like this!
IMHO
Just saying!
Must be multiple deaths per train trip! Amazing how cheap life is in other parts of the world.It makes me glad to live where I live, and it should make most of you glad too!This is backward living.
Have a nice weekend! At least it makes one complain less about a measly 3 hour traffic jam!
I thought Houston METRO's LRT cars at rush hour were bovine carriers........
