Union minister for Railways, Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday shared a cryptic post with a picture of a swanky train coach while asking people to guess the route it would be plying on.
He also dropped a hint with nursery rhyme—Jack n Jill went up the hill—to make the conjecturing task easy for the people.
Guess this train in making⁉️

Though the minister did not reveal much about the route, netizens are pretty assured that the new coaches are being prepared for plying on Shimla – Kalka route, which also gained heritage status in 2008 by UNESCO.

The Rail Coach Factory in Punjab's Kapurthala has manufactured new rolling stock for the 120-year-old Kalka-Shimla Railway (KSR), which uses a 762mm gauge track.
It is pertinent to note that KSR used coach designs that have been developed around 1908 and were initially manufactured by Moghalpura Workshop, which is now a part of Pakistan Railway.
