INDIAN RAILWAYS-1
Hey guys hope you people enjoyed my previous postings.
As my previous posts tells that i would like to serve the country, and the best i would like to fullfil that is by joining the railways in a big post after qualifiend for IAS.
Basically our country has got one of the biggest systems and the largest network in the world. COOL NA :-).
Hope you guys have heard of the ICF-Integral Coach Factory.It's one of the largest rolling stock manufacturing industry in the world.
It exports rolling stock to various places in the world, pakistan,sri lanka,bangladesh somalia, uganda etc.
Apart from that they also alter engines thats why we find an meter gaue engine running in the narroe gauge lines of the nilagiri railway.From CONNOR to OOTY.
one more intresting fact about these steam engines which pull the trains are that thay are oil fired, meaning that no more use of coal. this alteration was done by the students of REC,TRICHY.
I was soooooooooo lucky to travel by the last coal operated train.it was a great privilege, and now the nilagiri railway has got WORLD HERITAGE STATUS.
The nilagiri railway trains are known as the blue mountain railways, which got its name from the blue moutains, of course.
but those of you who are all thinking that it is the only kind of railway system in the world you are WRONG!.
there are two more railway network which have the common name "THE BLUE MOUNTAIN". one is in south africa and the other one is in sydney ,australia.
ok guys , hope you people liked this one.
unttil my next one.
