The sports gallery displaying awards won by the railway teams and an earmarked space depicting the historic march of Indian Railways from the olden days to the days of manufacturing and running high-speed Vande Bharat trains to the use of bullet trains have also gathered a lot of spectators.

“Another most interesting part of the railway pavilion is that it has created side walls based on the theme ‘Azadi Ki Rail Gadi aur Station’ which sheds light on the strong connection between freedom struggle and association of railways”, said a railway official. They also added that the remodeled Ayodhya railway station with design inspired by the Lord Rama Janambhoomi temple has turned out to be one of the huge crowds at the pavilion.

In addition to this, the Ministry of Railways has also displayed the prototypes of its mega Sabarmati multimodal passenger hub and the foundry of India’s first Bullet train project as part of the Mumbai-Ahmadabad high-speed rail corridor.
