#EkDinKaSultan - Part 2 (The Signature)
It all started with the Rajdhani; then followed Shatabdi nineteen years later. After that it's like a floodgate got opened. Jan Shatabdi, Sampark Kranti, Garib Rath, Suvidha, Duronto, Yuva, Double Decker, Kaviguru, Rajya Rani, Vivek, Maha Mana, Gatimaan, Tejas, Humsafar, Uday, Antyadaya - all came like a procession. Whoever has become rail minister in last 20- 25 years, has left a signature by these trains. Some of these trains have become flop, some of them have been victimized by politics, some still stand tall. But it is true that signature trains are really colorful- literally by livery or by concept.
So...
more... if you were elected as the rail minister of India, what would your signature train be?
**Train categorization is as per my own intuition.
