JOURNEYS
Clutching
his 1899 Appleton's Guidebook to Alaska, Michael Portillo reaches the State's
remote interior and the end of the Alaska Railroad. Less than 200 miles from
the Arctic Circle, at Fairbanks, he discovers how gold prospectors liberated
the precious metal from the soil.
At Poker
Flat, Michael reaches for the skies with the scientists who study the Northern
Lights. Volunteers on the Tanana Valley Railroad offer him the chance to light
the boiler of their 1899 Porter locomotive - a first for Britain's premier rail
fan. In Alaska's railwayless state capital, Juneau, Michael researches the life
of the remarkable author of his Appleton's, Eliza Scidmore, before heading to
the railhead for his next Alaskan journey. He discovers her role in encouraging
tourists to visit Alaska and finds out how salmon propelled the region to
statehood.

Compilation
Of Train Top Traveling In Bangladesh
Each year in
January Bangladesh hosts the three day Bishwa Ijtema festival. It is held at
Tongi beside the river Turag a short way north of Dhaka. This is the worlds
third largest gathering Muslim pilgrims with up to 5 million attending. To
transport this number of people, the Bangladesh Government puts on for free
special trains. The grossly overcrowded trains create a spectacular sight.
However despite what has been written elsewhere, this is not the usual state of
affairs on Bangladesh Railways. Regular trains are crowded and some passengers
ride on the roof but nothing like the festival trains. The video shows trains
taking passengers to the festival in the morning and returning back to the city
at the end of the last day.

EYECATCHERS
When India faced grain shortage in 1965, PM Lal Bahadur Shastri appealed to the people to grow wheat or rice wherever they could. He himself started growing wheat at his official bungalow on Delhi's Janpath.
This picture from April 1966 shows his wife Lalita Shastri cutting the crop planted by him at their official residence three month after his demise.
