Kalka-Simla Railway to get modern coaches

The 120-year-old Kalka-Simla Railway will get an image makeover for the first time since it was put into service. The narrow-gauge rolling stock, developed by Rail Coach Factory in Punjab's Kaputhala, is the first such indigenously produced train coach, which is reminiscent of the red-coloured Swiss narrow-gauge carriages.

Currently, the Kalka-Simla Railway - also a UNESCO World Heritage Site - uses coach designs that were made over hundred years ago by Moghalpura Workshop, which is now a part of Pakistan Railway.
