Appears India is assigning 500 railway coaches to Delhi for overflow hospital beds. Wonder where the cars will be parked ? Maybe at one of the passenger stations ?
500 cars - that is a lot of trackage if they are all going in one spot.

Railway coaches are not going to even scratch the surface. Article on how fast Covid-19 is spreading.
Here is additional information including what retired cars are to be used and locations that will park the cars. Evidently less than 100 cars have been converted. 54 listed in the link below but imagine that will change daily ?
This sounds a lot like Monon’s home-built streamliners in the other direction.
Well India is claiming more coach conversions. Find it hard to believe.
