The Palace on Wheels - Jaisalmer
The Palace on wheels is the most prestigious train plying on Indian railways primarily catering to the international tourists and promoting tourism amongst the international community. The lavish lifestyle aboard the train makes it an expensive deal for the rupee paying individual ! The pictures are taken at Jaisalmer station on a very cold winter morning. HOME |

The train pulled by a single WDM powered unit had just arrived at Jaisalmer ending its 6 hr journey from Jodhpur. It was scheduled to return in the evening to continue its week long journey starting from Delhi, visiting various cities in Rajasthan and returning to Delhi. The blue-cream livery was a good effort to match the coaches, it was pulling. |
