Railway Cars in India.

Hot times in Irdia have led to q
unique car construction. lh, passen-
ger cars have double roofs, the one
from two and a half to eight inches
above the other. The upper roof is
continued from the sides about %
inches, forming an aw-ing over the
upper part of the windows. Another
popularity of the first and second-class
cars is the servants compartment at
each end, as almost every passenger
takes at least one servant with him.
