There was a great TV show about the line that runs up the west coast of India from Kerala to Mumbai. The line that the British didn't build due to the terrain was built by the locals privately and despite the poverty of many people in India, the one profit making service was the train that took the small trucks from the south of India up to Mumbai. Quicker and cheaper for the lorry drivers and profitable for the railway.
