IRFCA is a primarily an electronic discussion group connecting many railfans particularly interested in railways in India, and with links to other railfan groups around the world. Currently, it takes the form of a web-based forum, although in the past it operated as a mailing list. Additionally IRFCA also refers to this web site (irfca.org).
Topics on IRFCA cover just about anything and everything having to do with trains in India! Many members are interested in current passenger services, routes, timetables, etc. Others are more interested in technical details of railway operations, motive power, rolling stock, etc. Yet others are interested in historical aspects of trains in India and the subcontinent. They also get travelogues and descriptions of railfanning trips made by members. Occasionally they also discuss railways in neighbouring countries or elsewhere in the world. Discussions are in the English language.
Members of IRFCA are also engaged in documenting railways in India photographically and otherwise the links there to the photo gallery, members' web pages, documents on IR, etc.
Some members are also engaged in preservation and heritage awareness-building activities, and other activities related to IR, although those are not officially within the scope of the IRFCA mailing list.
