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 🙂 |
