The Rail Transport Museum is a must for rail buffs. There are models
of train engines and coaches and it is a train-lovers delight. Its
pride is a model of India's very first train, a steam engine that
made its journey from Mumbai to Thane in 1853.
The
locomotives here are all displayed in the open although there is a
museum as well, which is a storehouse of information on the history
of railways in India.
Its vintage displays include the oldest locomotive in the world-still
working; the Viceregal Dining Car (1889) and the Prince of Wales
Saloon (1875), Maharaja of Mysore's Saloon (1899), Maharaja of
Baroda's Saloon (1886). The royal saloons are definitely worth a look
for the elaborate interior design. To enter the royal saloons one has
to buy a ticket.
The star
attraction is the Fairy Queen, built in 1855, and considered to be
the best preserved steam locomotive engines of her age. Children can
enjoy a ride on the miniature rail track.
