The Kalka Shimla Railcar at Barog

Posted on August 1, 2009

The Kalka Shimla Railcar at Barog

When we were returning from Barog, we had this entire railcar to us! It was going back empty and the Barog station master arranged for three tickets for us. When we were at Barog and saw the railcar for the first time and Brat 2 said, “How would it be if we had the entire thing for us!” So when it happened by chance on our way back I told him so. He immediately had another wish, “Now if we could only have the entire Shatabdi Express Coach to us.”

    These travel faster than the train, but are crowded and for first timers, people say, train is more fun.Having the coach on the train all to yourself, would be a bit uncomfortable.

    Tarun it is easy, you can book a ticket I think it costs 249 or something like that and go.VS but that is what an 18 year old might like to think that he likes.

    Shrinidhi, but if the car is full such a request would be quite chaotic! A queue would form behind you.
