Do you think if it is Technically possible to convert any of our famous Hill Railways to Broad Gauge? If yes, then which one is technically possible to be converted?
**Note: Here I am talking about only technical aspects, I am not saying whether we should convert any of our heritage railways, just possibility. If you think that instead of converting the existing track a separate parallel BG track can be constructed, then you can consider that option as technically possible too. Thanks!

I am not too particular. DHR and NMR come to my mind first when thinking about this.

it can be coverted to broadguage but it requires excellent engineering like many sharp turns need to demolished using bombs and build bridge over it and it will be costly project where southern railways will be lazy to do it and converting BG violates UNESCO heritage site rule

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
