Indian Railways air-conditioned chair car NR 97160. In the late 1990s Indian Railways tested some new designs for coaches (IRX, IRY, IRZ) of which only a small series of daytime coaches of type IRY, with IR20 bogies (related to the Fiat design of Eurofima coaches), went into production. They are recognizable by their corrugated bodyshells and doors at the ends (other series of Indian Railways have doors set back by about one meter, with toilets at the corners). They are only used in the New Delhi - Amritsar Swarna Shatabdi Express. Here this train (12029) is stopping at Jalandhar City Junction on 2012-12-30. tobias b köhler
