Where can I see a restored PRR GG-1?


These are both full-service long-haul overnight trains. They'll have a lounge car that serves microwave fare like all Amtrak trains. By all means use it to lounge around. But save your appetite for the full-service dining car that serves real meals cooked to order (they're Denny's prices but certainly better than Denny's quality).

Will they ever build trains that can travel over ocean?


Outlets... I haven't been on long-haul Eastern coaches for a long time and they've re-done the interiors a couple times since then. But they know people love their gadgets and newer interiors have a lot of plugs. (I remember when they had 2 plugs per car, intended for maintenance people to plug in a vacuum cleaner, oh how times have changed!) If your seat doesn't have one, check around and ask to move... or check the lounge car.

Which train going from mumbai central to tirupati?


It's pretty common for these really long-haul trains to be late. Just expect it and don't be bugged by it. It's easy to keep a train on time when the total running time is 3 hours because they get to "reset". But when the running time is 30 hours, one delay just stacks on top of another and there's nothing they can do about it.

not trying to scare you or anything but the national transportation safety bureau NTSB or a similar organization may have safety statistics on travel by rail available. I thought I either read or heard bad reviews of rail transportation but can't say for sure what company it was for, it seemed to indicate that whatever company it was had been written up for safety violations or lack of maintenance etc.
