You might have travelled above 1000 feet in aero-plane but you must not have travelled at that much height with a Railcar, But Indian engineers are ready to lift such a bulky weighty weighing car of iron to a height 35 meters more than that of Eiffel Tower.
"The Project worth more than 90 million is being handled by the Railway Corporation. It includes more than 25 thousands tones of steel."

Background of the Project
