Summer vacations: Take this Indian Railways trip; you are never going to forget it
Facing stiff competition from low cost airlines, Indian Railways is in the process of launching many innovative features to perk up revenue, and one of these is the introduction of Saloons, which are used by senior railway officials on their inspection duty. Ministers are also entitled to use the saloons during their rail journeys.
Saloon cars, actually known as Inspection Cars, are a specially designed rail coach with two bedrooms, a drawing/dining room, two bathrooms, an attendant`s room and a kitchen. Image source: Reuters
