Fairy Queen
About Fairy Queen
The Fairy Queen first started functioning for the East Indian Raiway in the
year 1855. After a decade of operation, the train stopped from running in
1908, and it was only after a hiatus of around 90 years that the train was
brought back. During this period, it was kept in the National Rail Museum.
Today, the Fairy Queen is the oldest steam running locomotive in the world
with its name recorded in the prestigious Guinness Book of World Records.
The Fairy Queen has also been the proud recipient of the National Tourism
Award.
The journey in the Fairy Queen is for two days, yet the treatment accorded
is equivalent to a Five Star Hotel. It is one journey that will not strain
your pockets and yet allow you to enjoy the royal treatment. The pleasant
journey through scenic places will add to the charming memories that you
will carry back after the trip is over.
The Fairy Queen runs between Delhi to Alwar and is operated during the
weekends. There are limited number of runs every year between October to
February.
