Railway Station Or A Cafe Railways Ministers Photo Of Station Stuns Internet

Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is always interactive with the public through his tweets. This time he shared a photo on Twitter of an elegant cafe-like setup that was offering food and beverages to train passengers.

The minister then posted a photo asking his followers, "Guess this place, Hint: At a railway station." Mr Vaishnaw said in his tweet. And to everyone's surprise this posh looking place is none other than a railway station!

A very colonial looking space, the images show beautiful stairs and sale counters offering coffees, teas, and mocktails. A few followers were convinced it is a cafe and not a railway station! Gaining enormous attention, amassing around 10,000 likes and nearly a million views.

Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister of Railways, routinely engages with his social media followers and comes up with amusing photos and messages.

He posted a photo of a baby last month and asked his followers if it looked like a train coach or a plane seat. "Baby on Board! Plane seat or train seat?" Mr Vaishnaw said in his tweet.

In January, he posted a couple of lovely pictures of a train station and asked viewers to identify it. In those images, a train is visible moving through a snow-covered landscape.
