National Railway Museum
This is a small museum of railway memorabilia, including the skull of an elephant killed when it collided with a mail train in Bengal, in 1894. But the principal glory of the National Railway Museum is the open-air display of old steam locomotives and rolling stock. Particularly interesting are the 鈥榮pecial鈥?carriages belonging to British and Indian grandees, such as the Viceregal dining car, the Maharaja of Mysore's personal train, which comprised both sleeping and day compartments, and the Gaekwar of Baroda鈥檚 Saloon, with its ornate gold and enamel ceiling. Also on display is the last steam engine to see service on the Indian railways 鈥?as recently as 1995 鈥?and the first electric-powered engine to do so 鈥?as long ago as the 1930s |
