Fairy Queen Coaches Information

The Fairy Queen Train is one of the oldest running locomotives in the history of world railways. Fairy Queen Train has only two coaches attached to it. One of the coaches is specially designed air-conditioned car that can comfortably seat fifty guests. The seats are flexible and guests can recline and enjoy the ride from Delhi to Alwar and back. Besides the two coaches, Fairy Queen Heritage Train has a well maintained pantry car for on board catering. Another highlight of the train is the lounge in the front of the passenger coach. Its large window offers a beautiful view of the Fairy Queen engine as it puffs away and steams across the countryside of Rajasthan on its way to Alwar.

World’s oldest rolling locomotive, Fairy Queen is a respected name in the Indian railway history. The train is running since 1855 with a brief gap in between. The very idea of travelling in a train, which is more than a century old, is fascinating and exciting enough.  The train started its maiden journey in the year 1855 and was in operational till 1908 when due to some reasons its regular operations were halted. In July 1997, the Indian Railways restarted its operation as a heritage train from Delhi to Alwar and from there the tourists are taken to world famous Sariksa Wildlife Sanctuary. The itinerary of Fairy Queen is of two days but there is no overnight stay on the train. The guests are accommodated in hotel at Sariska.
