Srinagar (The Uttam Hindu): The long-awaited Vande Bharat Express trial run between Jammu and Kashmir's Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and Srinagar has finally been successfully completed. A major highlight of the trial was the train’s passage over the world’s highest railway bridge, the Chenab Bridge. Additionally, the train also crossed India’s first cable-stayed railway bridge, the Anji Khaad Bridge. This Vande Bharat Express has been specially designed considering the chilly climate of the Kashmir Valley.

A video of the trial run has surfaced, showing the train as it crosses the Chenab Bridge offering a breathtaking view. The Vande Bharat Express stands out from other trains in the country due to several unique features. Most notably, it has been tailored to withstand the cold weather. The train is equipped with a high-quality heating system that prevents water pipes and the bio-toilet tank from freezing, a common issue in icy regions that often causes discomfort to passengers.
