Imagine a contest where trains get judged on how good they look and how well they work for their drivers.
The Electrical Loco Shed in Visakhapatnam (ELS, VSKP) entered a train in this contest and won second place!
They made lots of cool upgrades to the train, like better seats, cleaner air, and easier controls.
This was done to make the train drivers more comfortable during long trips.
The upgrades included improvements to the inside of the train, like the lights and how quiet it is.
The team worked hard, using new materials and technologies to make the train the best it could be.
