Train to Kashmir Hits the Highway

All ready to gobble up a fascinating scenario of Kashmir and experience the mountains of Kashmir tactics in a train in the snow February 2007, the main test train began in the Kashmir Valley. Not in the conventional way, but in the 300 km-long Jammu-Srinagar national highways, adding a significant episode in the R 4700 crore Jammu-Udhampur-Srinagar-Qazigund, Baramulla national rail plan.

This is an addition of a further division to a count of Indian Railways and Kashmir national rail plan, since the first review of diesel mobile coach stopped Kashmir Budgam railway terminal, in choosing a route by road, not a train track from Jammu railway station.

Almost immediately after the train of 36 wheels, pulled by an engine of 460 HP extraordinary began to move Jammu-Srinagar highway at 07. 00 hours, seems incredible, but the train is moving on the road from Jammu to Srinagar through Badgam. Was carried out for the first time in the history of Indian Railways that a DMU has slipped in the right direction.

Numerous bids were made to commemorate the occasion in the history of Indian Railways. The train equipped with about 36 wheels of truck driven crossed paths as the entire population around witnesses as the train was moving on the road with trucks and buses on the sides. Beaten by surprise as the train zigzag across the road, pedestrians on the roads, buses and road houses full of all and was amazed and astonished. The only difference is that these trains are not equipped with normal iron wheels, but with unusual truck tire tracks that do not need to move forward. It was perhaps one of the least known monument and the people of Kashmir were absolutely zapping.

This exhibition is a rare achievement in engineering, has become a reality as the first of 24 coaches went to the train station in central Budgam Kashmir. It was probably made by the iron wheels of the cars with replacement truck tires, which will be prepared by a truck trailer comprising 460 HP engine specifically provided.

Considering himself as a man standing on the track of Indian Railways and Kashmir rail development, the train driver Joginder Singh was a happy and full of pride. From the Bihar region Fazipora, Singh said: "I have Indian Railways pompous moving a precious gift for Kashmiris."
