There are many things related to trains that we see, we hear about them, but we may not know about them in depth. If you have ever traveled by train, you must have noticed a strange thing on the AC coach seat. That is, there is a separate layer of rexine on top of these seats. This layer is attached to the main rexin, i.e. fabric, of the seat. Have you ever wondered what causes this? Recently, a user posted a photo of this layer on a social media platform and asked people questions about it.
Recently a user posted a photo of an AC coach seat on Reddit’s forum r/indianrailways. Showing the seat to the people, he asked why there is a separate sleeve on it? In the photo you can see that the person has shown that layer by lifting it up also. This layer is not in the entire seat, but is stitched at half the distance. Most of the time there is just enough space to fit the fingers in it.
