Western Railway Monetizes Heritage Route Through Film Production
Western Railway is exploring a strategic initiative to generate additional revenue streams by permitting film production companies to shoot on the scenic Bilimora-Waghai narrow-gauge railway line in Gujarat. This historic route, known for its picturesque landscapes and architectural heritage, presents a unique opportunity for the railway authority to diversify income beyond traditional ticketing and freight services.
The narrow-gauge line traverses through visually stunning terrain that has long attracted tourists and photographers. By opening these tracks to film and television productions, Western Railway aims to capitalize on the growing demand from entertainment industries seeking authentic, visually compelling shooting locations.
