Four Vistadome coaches for Kalka-Shimla heritage track rolled out

The Rail Coach Factory (RCF) here on Monday rolled out four advanced Vistadome narrow gauge coaches having glass roofs and large windows for the Kalka-Shimla heritage track. Addressing the media here, RCF General Manager Ashesh Agrawal said these coaches – an AC executive car (12 seats), an AC chair car (24 seats), a non-AC chair car (30 seats) and a power-cum-luggage and guard car – would have a trial run on the Kalka-Shimla route before being put into service.

They have been handed over to the Kalka railways for the trial runs, he said.

After clearance from the Commissioner of Railway Safety, the coaches will be put into service.
