National Rail Museum

The National Rail Museum is an extensive collection of over a hundred vintage locomotives and carriages spanning the history of Indian railways, housed within 11 acres of landscaped gardens. Opened in 2000, it features exhibits like the Maharajas’ luxurious carriages and the steam engine that represents the railway’s colonial legacy. Allocate a few hours to fully appreciate the interactive displays and activities, including rides on miniature trains. The museum is situated near Chanakyapuri, making it easily accessible if you plan to explore nearby diplomatic enclaves or the nearby Indira Gandhi National Museum of Art. Look out for the vintage railway memorabilia throughout the grounds.
