Toy train at Rewari loco shed to woo tourists

New Delhi, March 29

Tourists and locals would soon be able to enjoy a ride on a new toy train at the Rewari loco shed, as part of the Railways’ efforts to develop it as a tourist hotspot, officials said on Thursday.

Railway Board Chairman Ashwani Lohani, who visited the Rewari section, said the visitors would have to pay a nominal ticket charge to enjoy the ride on the toy train, which would be just like the one that runs at the National Rail Museum at Pancharipuri.

Lohani said the electrification of the Rewari station would be completed by May.

Rewari is a significant section for railways as the national transporter is planning a first-of-its-kind railway heritage theme park there as part of the Bharat Darshan Scheme of the Ministry of Tourism. Lohani also finalised the details of running a steam engine between Faruknagar and Garhi. — PTI
