New Delhi - The Ministry of Railways is set to launch freight-cum-passenger trains to enhance its revenue from time-sensitive parcel and small cargo shipments, according to sources familiar with the development. 

“The train will be a double-decker model within the existing framework of dimensions—freight will be transported on the ground floor, while passengers will be seated on the upper deck. The design has been approved, though some finer details are still being worked out,” a senior government official said. 

The project was discussed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi . . .
