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.
