These are recent pictures of the MRTS (Commuter /Suburban Rail) at Chennai. New elevated tracks have been added, but these pictures are from an old line on the surface, between Beach & Tambaram.
Also, see this link about the system, that has had a very poor beginning, but is said to be slowly picking up now. However, when I had travelled on it recently (off-peak hours), coaches were seen almost empty with very few passengers.

1st Class, but condition of the coach is poor
