Home > Current Steam > Fairy Queen: 2001-2002 Season

The Guiness record holder East Indian Railway No.22 'Fairy Queen' runs tourist special trains to Alwar every fortnight (subject to bookings!) between October and March each season. Bharat Vohra was on a trial run in November 2001 from Delhi to Rewari. Other pictures on this page by Harsh Vardhan.
