SHIMLA: In a significant move to position Himachal Pradesh as India's first "green state," Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Monday urged the Union Ministry of Railways to consider converting the historic Kalka-Shimla UNESCO World Heritage train to operate on green hydrogen.
Built in 1903 by the Britishers, the Kalka-Shimla Railway line was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 8, 2008. It was listed under the "Mountain Railways of India" category.
The Kalka-Shimla Railway is a narrow-gauge railway line that connects Kalka in Haryana to Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. It's known for its historical and engineering significance, as well as its scenic view.
The railway line has 103 tunnels and passed over 800 bridges in three years. The Guinness Book of Rail facts & feats records it as the greatest narrow gauge engineering in India.
