National Rail Museum, Delhi

With the clouds still in the sky, I was unable to take out my film SLR camera for a monument shoot (my first assignment for the photography class I have joined). Instead I relied on my trusted mobile phone camera and went to the National Rail Museum, Delhi with my younger brother, Akshat, and a friend, Varoon. As the day progressed clouds decided to pull back a little and sun shone on us and the three of us had a good time going train crazy. The National Rail Museum is one of my favourite places in Delhi as this is the only open museum I have ever seen.

Below is the joy-train that carries passengers around the museum. It is very popular with children. I really like the small platform from where the train begins its journey.
This engine here shows how earlier, coal was used to boil water to power the steam engines.

If you miss the train I'm on/Then you'll know that I have gone/You can hear the whistle blow a 100 miles...

From the airport, which I showed you last time, today I take you to the Old Delhi railway station. Delhi has several important stations and among these, Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi Railway Station, Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station are the most prominent ones.

I had recently gone to Old Delhi Railway Station to board a train to Jodhpur. The entrance, painted in yellow and red, is grand.
The platform is quite neat and tidy. And the train was on time. So I was a happy traveller :-)
