As is seen in the photograph, the train coach has single slouching chairs on each side of the aisle and big windows on both sides.
Ashwini Vaishnaw’s tweet enquiring name of train elicited many responses from netizens. Many made a blind guess about the train in question while some got the name of train bang on.
As evident from the look of train, many social media users rightly said that it was a toy train, set to roll out on the Kalka-Shimla route in Himachal Pradesh.
It may be noted that the Rail Coach Factory (RCF) in Kapurthala recently launched four narrow gauge panoramic coaches for the Kalka-Shimla heritage train link and also shared its pictures on Twitter. These coaches can be seen displaying big window screens and comfortable seats under 4 different categories –
AC Executive Chair car (12 Seater)
AC Chair Car (24 Seater)
Non AC Chair Car (30 Seater)
Generator Car/Luggage van
