First day in Delhi we visited the railway museum. It has a toy train ride and also an indoor exposition. It is the only museum we found in India where foreigners pay the same ticket price as Indians – USD0.40.
Unfortunately most rolling stock is poorly maintained. Wood is rotten and steel is rusted. Explanations are never available.
Still, many interesting items can be found, such as this engine with unusual rod design….
or a self propelled crane….
and especially the steam monorail. Unfortunately, the engine was out for repairs 🙁
I always thought rubbish was a problem in India. But I guess it’s actually a pride, since they decided to capture it in the photograph and show it in the museum 🙂
