NEW DELHI: Tourists and locals would soon be able to enjoy a ride on a new toy train at the Rewari loco shed in Haryana, as part of the Railways’ efforts to develop it as a tourist hotspot, officials said here.
Railway Board Chairman Ashwani Lohani, who visited the Rewari section, took the decision that that the visitors 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 Chanakyapuri, officials said.
Lohani said that the electrification of the Rewari station will be completed by May 2018.
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, officials said.
Lohani also finalized the details of running a steam engine between Faruknagar and Garhi, which has been a long term demand of the locals there.
Lohani has been travelling extensively across the railway network inspecting and reviewing divisions almost every week. PTI
