Palace on Wheels

Tour Introduction
The Palace On Wheels started as a unique holiday train hauled by
a steam engine with its inaugural trip on 26th January, 1982. It
started to roll on its regular operations from October 1982. The
Palace on Wheels, on broad gauge, is clearly the pride of the Indian
Railways. It is luxurious, and it is modern.
The coaches have different names derived from the former princely
states and that provides the link for the coat of arms and the decor
inside. Within each carriage are comfortable of showers, built-in
wardrobes with full-length mirrors, overhead and night-lights, piped
music, service bells and public address system.
The rooms and corridors are carpeted, the furniture inlaid and upholstered
especially for the train. Blinds drape large windows, which frame
views across the desert and the passing arid landscape. At the end
of each coach is a lounge.
