Enjoy watching the extremely rare spotting of Brand new Trucks being shipped on Rails. Ashok Leyland 1616il (Yellow) 64 Trucks moving towards Bangalore on 32 Wagons. This is one of the cheapest ways to transport Automobiles using Railways which is much faster and safer compared to Road Transportation which would require several huge Trucks to transport them.

The service is available from Kolad (145 kms. from Mumbai), Verna (12 kms. from Madgaon) upto Surathkal (20 kms. from Mangalore) and vice-versa. There are plans to implement these Services in other parts of India soon.
