A FERVENT APPEAL TO ALL RAILFANS & DOORPLATERS

equipments . For after all cameras and mobiles are REPLACEABLE while HUMAN LIFE is NOT.

Thanks sir for the timely awareness created by you. This also applies to some non RFs who just keep on taking photos while travelling just as their hobby or social networking craze and i have some of this type friends and will definitely convey your valuable message to them.
