The decorated cabin, which resembled a honeymoon suite, caught widespread attention online as the train continued its journey. The video begins with a shot of the train standing at a platform before moving through the coach corridor towards the decorated coupe. The entrance was covered with a pink beaded curtain featuring heart-shaped cut-outs. Inside, the compartment looked dramatically different from a regular train cabin.
