Palace On Wheels Luxury Train Tours - History
The passenger coaches of Palace on
Wheels Luxury Train India were actually specially made for the former rulers of the princely
states of Rajputana, Gujarat, Nizam of Hyderabad and the Viceroy of India.
Since the interiors of the coaches were very rich and had an ethnic feel to
them therefore the Indian Railways was not using them after independence.
Thus the name "Palace on Wheels" (POW) came from the royal and
elitist background of the coaches. An all new POW was introduced from 1984
which had 13 saloons, 2 restaurant and kitchen cars, one bar cum lounge and
4 service cars. Since 1996, a new broad gauge POW is being operated with
inter-connected saloons.
Don't call it a train,
it's the ultimate time machine !
