'Heritage on Wheels' in new avatar

Beautiful train

After ferrying tourists to see the splendours of the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan for two years, the once popular "Heritage on Wheels" luxury train, currently consigned to the railway yard, may soon be transformed into a restaurant in Jaipur.

"It is rather sad that this beautifully-designed train is parked in a railway shed instead of carrying passengers. We don't want the effort to go waste," said B.K. Sharma, the general manager of the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corp that was running the service.
