Hisar : The railways has decided to set up a washing line at the local railway station which will pave the way for starting long-route trains to and from here.Divisional Railway Manager SS Gupta, who stopped over here for a brief while yesterday, said the washing line would be set up near the Surya Nagar railway crossing where sufficient space and underground water was available.Gupta said the availability of good quality water was a must for setting up a washing line as the entire train had to be washed and spruced up for a long journey. Luckily, the underground water at the proposed site made the grade.He said the railways had been planning to improve train services to this region for long but that required improvement of the rail infrastructure. The washing line would meet a pre-requisite for long-route trains to come to Hisar.The tender for the line had already been floated and it was expected to be completed in about a year.
