The guy on the right looks like he is about to fall off, and they are on a bridge. If somebody DOES fall off, would the train stop, or leave them to hitch-hike on the next train?

This explains the "500 dead in train wreck" headlines from this part of the world.

And, if it's this crowded outside, imagine the inside. Then, imagine the smell.

I've been on a few trains like that, not quite that bad but close, as a rule they stop when someone falls off. This can be quite regularly. What gets me is the dudes that go though selling snacks still ram their way through when it's this packed.

They have actually taken to using diapers during the tourist season, since the bathrooms are crowded with passengers, also.

How in hell would they know if someone fell off?

Very telling that there are grills over the forward facing window.
