The view is so horrible that a faint hearted person can't withstand the shock. The average density per square meter becomes almost equal to the density which could be achieved only by rats.

Also, the tracks are like a labyrinth for the train drivers, which are so badly interconnected that there is always a danger of meeting with some accident but luckily tracks were never been the cause of any accident in the past.

Nothing will ever beat riding a long distance Indian train. Try bottom class - I've never gone any higher than that and never will.
