Indian Railways is set to transform the over 100-year-old Kalka-Shimla Railway with modern Vistadome coaches

The first indigenously produced train coaches are reminiscent of red-coloured Swiss narrow-gauge carriages

Currently, the coaches used in the train were made over 100 years back by Moghalpura Workshop, now a part of Pakistan Railway

These new advanced coaches will be put into service as soon as they receive clearance from the Commissioner of Railway Safety

The new coaches will have panoramic windows, a lightweight shell with an upgraded bogie and an improved braking system

The coaches will also be equipped with latest safety features such as CCTV cameras and fire alarms
