In India, high speed trains have become synonymous with Rajdhanis and Shatabdis, and in the last 3 years, Durontos. This compilation attempts to go beyond these well-established high speed trains and documents furious displays of speeds from the lesser known trains in India. All of the trains featured in this documentary have their Maximum Permissible Speeds limited to 110 kmph (approximately 69 mph). However, they make up for the lack of speed vis-à-vis the Rajdhanis, Shatabdis, and Durontos through their sheer aggression, resulting in some high speed encounters.

This video is a compilation of the top 40 speedster encounters experienced by me over the past 4 years, covering 10 out of the 16 zones of Indian Railways. There has been a concerted effort in making this compilation as diverse as possible, in terms of locomotives featured, and region of capture. Thus, WAP4s from various sheds such as Howrah, Santragachhi, Erode, Bhusawal, Lallaguda, Royapuram, Mughal Sarai and Vadodara are featured. This is in addition to actions including WDM3As and WDM3Ds, WAP7s, WAM4s, WDP4s, and one each of WCAM3, WCAM2P, WCAM1, WDG3 and WDM2 locomotives.
