Railways to partner with Google for showcasing its heritage
Railways will collaborate with Google for digitizing and showcasing its heritage on digital platforms. Google has agreed to partner with Railways to digitise its heritage assets and help create a digital repository for universal online access free of cost, said a senior Railway Ministry official.
Indian Railway has a huge list of heritage assets including bridges, steam locos, buildings, artefacts and museums which can be showcased for global audience. An agreement in this regard will be signed soon between National Rail Museum and Google Cultural Institute (GCI).

Various ministries and institutes of the government have already collaborated with GCI for displaying and preserving India's cultural heritage digitally. Currently Google is working with the railways in providing free Wi-Fi service at 100 stations.
