Mysore/Mysuru: World Heritage Day is observed every year on Apr. 18 and this year’s theme is “Heritage Changes.” The week-long celebrations by the Indian Railways include conferences, lectures, seminars, essay and drawing competition for children and ideas to promote green energy to fight climate change.
The Mysuru Rail Museum is among the earliest rail museums to be set up in the country to showcase exhibits like vintage steam locomotives, royal saloon, inspection coaches, goods wagons and other system equip-ment of the Railways built by the erstwhile rulers of Mysore Kingdom in the later part of the 19th century. These relics have immense significance in terms of heritage and every effort is made to preserve them for posterity.
