The Royal Orient is the metre gauge equivalent of the broad gauge Palace on Wheels luxury train. It operates each season between October and March and is steam hauled between Delhi Cantt and Rewari Jn. 2 YG's (double headed) provide pulling power to this train. The following is a collection of photos taken by Harsh Vardhan and Bharat Vohra.
