The Central Railway is painting all its AC local trains' 'faces' yellow like regular local trains, to make them more visible. The action comes as gang men and those working on tracks said that they could not spot the trains approaching from far due to their silver face. From the commuter's point of view, the yellow colour looks more attractive and appealing.

“It is being done as a safety feature. Earlier, we did not have a spare train, as once the colour is changed, it requires a few days to dry. But now that one has arrived, we can use them in cycles and have begun work on painting the faces of AC trains yellow. We have taken up two and the rest will be done as early as possible,” a senior official said.
