A journey through India's railway heritage

In the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, lies the National Rail Museum - a treasure trove of India's railway history spread across 11 spectacular acres. Inaugurated in 1977, this unique museum showcases the evolution of Indian railways through its remarkable collection of locomotives, coaches, and saloons. Marvel at the world's oldest working steam locomotive, the Fairy Queen, or witness the unique 1907 Patiala State Monorail. Explore luxurious royal carriages including the opulent saloons of the Maharajas of Indore and Mysore, adorned with teak, gold, and ivory. Take a delightful ride on the museum's mini-train around the railway yard, or experience modern rail technology through coach simulators. The museum's restaurant, The Rails, offers a unique dining experience in a replica of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus dome, complete with a model train serving food to guests.
