Railways to launch special train connecting heritage sites: Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday unveiled a special train that would be run on Heritage routes across the country.

The Minister after inspecting a train modified as a steam loco train at the MGR Central Railway Station here said more such trains would be introduced on heritage routes in the coming months.

Elaborating on the concept, Vaishnaw said the Railways had planned to introduce a new concept — ‘Heritage special’ which would be built using ‘steam engines’ as the theme.
