STEAM LOCOMOTIVES FOR PROMOTION OF HERITAGE TOURISM
Indian Railways have
earmarked Nilgiri Mountain Railways on metre guage and Darjeeling
Himalayan Railways on narrow guage for promotion of heritage tourism
by steam locomotive.
During the year-long
celebrations of 150 glorious years of railways in India, steam
loco hauled trains were run on Mumbai-Thane, Shimla-Kathleeghat,
Bolarm-Monoharabad and Howrah-Bandel sections by reviving
steam locomotives.
At present, 33 steam
locomotives are working on Indian Railways.
