Even though they are retired from passenger transport, the railway department gives a second life to coaches that are still strong. Seats, fans, and lights are removed, windows are closed, and they are converted into goods transport coaches under the name NMG. These are efficiently used for another five to ten years to supply cars, two-wheelers, and tractors across the country. Some other coaches are allocated as accident relief trains and resting places for track repair staff.
Recently, in several major cities, old coaches are being converted into attractive theme restaurants to attract food lovers. Engines with historical significance are preserved as special attractions in railway museums.
