| A few minutes after sunrise on March 3 1994, the overnight Chetak-Express from Udaipur to Delhi has stopped at a remote station somewhere in the countryside. Then smoke in the distance, whistle blows permanent, and here comes the prestige train of Western Railways, the "Palace on Wheels", pulled by two metre gauge steam engines in supershine condition.
