The Central Railway (CR) planned to add a coach with a glass ceiling in the Neral-Matheran toy train, senior railway officials said. Similar to Vistadome coach, commuters can enjoy the scenic beauty of the hills.

Officials said the coach would be modified in Mumbai. “The fare would be fixed in consultation with the Railway Board. The scheme will be finalised … so that the facility is available immediately after monsoon,” said V Malegaonkar, Additional Divisional Railway Manager, CR.
