The Majestic Train of India
Fairy Queen is one of very few luxurious trains of India, rolling though
the royal land of Rajasthan, India. It was the year 1855, when the majestic
Fairy Queen rolled its wheels out for the East Indian Railway. The Fairy
Queen stopped its service in the year 1908. Probably the oldest working
engine in the world, the Fairy Queen started rolling again from 1st February
1997 from Delhi, after over 142 years of long rest. Today, this royal beauty
runs between Delhi, the capital city of India and Alwar in Rajasthan.
The Fairy Queen has found a respectable place in the Guinness Book of World
Records. Also a National Tourism Award winner, this prestigious pristine
beauty graces the National Rail Museum, New Delhi.
