Amazing Features of Rapid Trains
This rapid rail is being developed with a highly advanced aerodynamic structure. It has a long nose-shaped front so that it can pierce through the air pressure generated while travelling at high speed. The train will have a stunning modern design with a regenerative braking system to generate electricity. The rapid rails will be loaded with complete automatic equipment including auto-security features. While travelling you will enjoy the “facilities like CCTV cameras, laptop mobile charging, dynamic route map reading, ventilation, air conditioning etc.” In the trains, one coach will be reserved for women and two for standard class and staff.
