Image: A train on the highway!

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.

It was the first trial run of what will be a 24-coach train that will cover Jammu-Srinagar by road and will become your normal train on tracks soon after.

The service is expected to be operational from February 2007.
