We must appreciate you for the trouble you took to travel some 50 km route on the roof of a dangerously crowded train, especially ahead of a religious festival which tends to make everyone crazy.
Indeed the pictures you shot are amazing for the people in developed world. But these tend to be very common and familiar for any individual in the third world countries especially in impoverished and overcrowded Bangladesh, of nearly 150 million people.

I saw this image on Monday and was so drawn to it.

Thanks for sharing the experience – interested to see the trial and error involved in getting it.

Image of 2009 for me. Congratulations.

although so many citizens hanky panky to catch up the train, and maybe it is normal situation over there,for me safety of theirself should be always no 1..salam eid fitr to all muslims…

Andrew,
what a great picture! What a great story! Did you travel back on the same train but in an empty carriage?

It’s a lovely (and sad) image and the story tells itself; thanks for sharing how you got it. Very dangerous job you have!
