Sanctuary Express

The film captures the final days of meter gauge trains in North Eastern Railway zone of Indian Railways, before gauge conversion relegates these trains to the pages of history.

मैलानी से बहराइच रेल सेक्शन को रेल मंत्रालय ने हेरिटेज रेलवे का दर्जा दिया है। इसका मतलब यह है कि अब मैलानी बहराइच रेल रूट पर ट्रेनों का संचालन कभी भी बंद नही होगा।
यह रेल सेक्शन एक विरासत के रूप में हमेशा मीटर गेज ही रहेगा।
