Viewers will have a glimpse of the fascinating 12-hour journey of Maitree Express from Kolkata to Dhaka as part of Discovery Channel's new line-up 'India's Frontier Railways'.
The show will capture the 392 km-long journey dotted with similar landscape on both sides of the border, a channel spokesman said.
"We will show how people speak the same language, share a historical past and are fond of fish," he said.
The entire programme explores the journey of passengers on the international trains that connect India to Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.
The unique three-part series will showcase the heartwarming stories of re-union, cultures, history and journey of people across borders.
Each episode will be one-hour long. The show will be beamed tomorrow at 9 PM, the spokesman said.
