Mail/Express trains to sport new look

The dark blue coaches of Indian Railways will be a thing of the past now as the public transporter would be repainting all Mail/Express trains in a new colour scheme — beige and brown.

The freshly-painted Delhi-Pathankot Express with 16 coaches will be the first train to be rolled out, by this month-end. The colour of premium trains — including Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto — will however not be changed and only Mail/Express service with conventional coaches manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai will be donning the new livery.
