Only went AC once, 2nd reserved whenever possible, or unreserved if not. I love sitting in the open doorway, and that's not allowed in AC. The old style 1st class was excellent, but for the last 20 or so years only on regional or branch lines, very hard to find now. I remember that train with the milk urns hung by hooks outside the window somewhere in Rajasthan. 14 visits and more than 4 years total travelling in India, at least 3 months total in 2nd class, but more likely double that as I usually took a train a week. I love the whole community of train travel in India, the sharing of food, space, personal information. But the best is sitting on a step looking at the scenery going by, and smoking a joint.
