Indian Military Trains

I was just thinking, why not have a vast, high speed, I'm talking 200 Kmph, train network along our borders?, connecting every part of Kashmir
Speed acts as a great force multiplier.
Just think about it, a smaller smarter, less expensive Army.

I saw a military train. Special features.
One I class compartment CO's family and other officers. Armed MPs guarding it.
Each company of 120 odd crammed in a general compartment. 3 cos in all.
Kitchen in a goods wagon.
A flat bed carried flower pots of the CO and his car.
Some sealed wagons, perhaps for arms.
A fantastic military train it was.

Armoured train? Was the track too armoured?

I saw it myself some years ago.
So bad, quick cameras were not there at that time.
