Window Cleaners India Sketchbook 2017 watercolor by Meera Rao
These three young ladies were part of the train cleaning crew. It was a bright sunny afternoon and I loved the play of light, colors and shadows as they chatted and worked. They had a assembly line of sorts going - one squirted water, one had a bunch of newspaper she was using to wipe it off with and the third lady had a long handled glass cleaner to finish the job. Once inside though, I found those windows were not clear enough capture the scenery with my camera! The trains are workhorses and it is a tough job to keep the trains clean as they chug along with barely enough time between rides.

Thank u very much, Meera, for sharing a lovely painting and an interesting post. Keep up your wonderful work. Best wishes, Sadami
How interesting, Meera! Thanks for sharing that. I would imagine that only so many windows can be cleaned during stops so some must get done twice while others maybe not at all? Have a wonderful day.
Lovely painting Meera. We haven't seen the train window cleaners in action although we've travelled on many indian trains that could have benefitted!
