RAIL MUSEUM

National Rail Museum, situated in New Delhi, is a must-visit for those who love locomotives. There are various models of train, engines and coaches in the museum. It also preserves the model of India's very first train, a steam engine that made its journey from Mumbai to Thane in 1853. There are a number of locomotives displayed in the open, which are simply lovable. The museum, sprawling across 10 acres of land, is a storehouse of information on the 150-yr old history of railways in India. Children love the ride in the toy train on the miniature rail track around the museum. The highlight of the museum is the Fairy Queen built in 1855, which is the best-preserved locomotive of its times.
