Do you think if it is Technically possible to convert any of our famous Hill Railways to Broad Gauge? If yes, then which one is technically possible to be converted?
**Note: Here I am talking about only technical aspects, I am not saying whether we should convert any of our heritage railways, just possibility. If you think that instead of converting the existing track a separate parallel BG track can be constructed, then you can consider that option as technically possible too. Thanks!
