The trail run has been successful, and new train will be operated for public shortly, the railway authorities said.
The Railways recently provided three new glass-domed coaches to Andhra Pradesh at Vizag railway station. The coaches were parked at the coaching yard. One of the coaches was on Tuesday sent for the trail run on the KK-railway line in the Eastern Ghats.
The trail run was conducted with an LHB rake without passengers, and yielded desired results, a railway official told Deccan Chronicle.
