Remember that amphibious car in the James Bond movies, which was as cool underwater as it is on the road? Something similar was on display on the Jammu-Srinagar highway on Tuesday.

A train coach, fitted with a special engine and 36 truck tyres, zig-zagged through the serpentine highway, much to the amusement of locals and commuters.

The service is expected to be operational from February 2007.
