Kashmir gets its first train coaches on Thursday exclusively meant for pleasure trips through beautiful fields and orchards with the peaks of the Pir Panjal range in the backdrop.
Vistadome coaches were added on the south Kashmir’s Banihal and central Kashmir’s Srinagar route. It offers a glass ceiling and large windows to allow passengers a 360-degree view, which will allow appreciation of the beauty of the breathtaking landscapes on the way.
Throwing open these coaches, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, “Kashmir is witnessing a discernible change on the ground. Various development projects have been ongoing in Jammu and Kashmir in the railways sector. Jammu and Kashmir, in the last nine years, has changed a lot and the change is discernible on the ground.”
