A scene at a Rail/Road level crossing on the Gwalior - Kanpur road (Uttar Pradesh, India) with haphazardly parked trucks on both the carriageways, as viewed from a Volvo tourist bus.

Seen here are miscreants removing the safety barrier fixed on the road to prevent vehicles exceeding the height limit from coming into contact with the 25000 volts AC electric traction wire on the railway track, while a freight train hauled by an electric locomotive rolls by on the Bayana Jn - Agra Fort rail line. This rail track was laid in 1874 on meter gauge (1000 mm) and converted to broad gauge (1676 mm) in 2005.
