'Train For Sale': Man's Hilarious Attempt For Entertainment Gets Internet ROFL

You’ve probably seen videos on social media where people sell cars, bikes, or other vehicles, as the market for buying and reselling used vehicles is quite large. Many people are interested in such purchases. But have you ever seen someone trying to sell a train? While it might be possible abroad, where private trains exist, in India, trains are government-owned, so selling one seems impossible! But recently, a man went viral for making a humorous video where he pretended to sell a train. The video is purely for entertainment and not based on reality.

The video, shared on Instagram by user @shiv_shukla_5005, shows a man humorously attempting to “sell” an entire train. In the evening, he stands by the tracks near a station, with a stationary train in the background. He jokingly describes the train’s features as if he’s selling it.

In the video, the man claims the train is a 2007 model, with paperwork valid until 2027. He mentions that the vehicle has some dent and paintwork, a slightly dim headlight, and a minor issue with the engine. He adds that apart from that, the train is mostly fine, though the insurance has expired and needs to be renewed. As he jokes around, social media users join in on the fun.

The video has garnered 3.8 million views, with many people leaving humorous comments. One person asked, “How much will it cost on the tracks?” Another commented, “If it’s a 2015-16 model, let me know; this one seems a bit old.” Someone else joked, “Brother, fix it up—I’m a repeat buyer!” Another quipped, “What’s the mileage on it?”

Besides, in a country where trains are often considered the common man’s mode of transport, carrying over 20 million people every day at affordable prices, there is one unique exception that breaks this mould. Step aboard the Maharaja Express, India’s most opulent train where the cost of a ticket can rival the price of a 2BHK apartment in the country’s capital.

Launched in 2010, the Maharaja Express is not only the most expensive train in India but also the most expensive in the whole of Asia. With its unmatched luxury, this train offers a travel experience on par with five-star hotels, making even a comfortable salary seem inadequate for the journey. The interiors are a wonderful blend of regal elegance and modern comforts, offering passengers a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
