Railways to launch train to honour Mother Teresa

Kolkata: The Railways will introduce a new
train, Mother Express, named after Mother Teresa on August 26
to mark her birth centenary.

"We have decided to launch the new train after Mother
Teresa as a tribute to her on occasion of her birth
centenary," Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said here today.
Banerjee said that the coaches of the train would be
painted in blue, the trademark border of the habit worn by the
order she founded.

The route of the train would be announced later, but it
would touch important destinations in the country, she said.
