Sixth publication by this IRSME Railway Officer, the book chronicles his last 29 months as a government servant heading the famous Integral Coach Factory (ICF) of Indian Railways (IR) at Chennai. On the face of it, the book appears to be a narrative about how a train was con- ceived and built. But it is much more than that.
