Yesterday I went to the National Rail Museum in Delhi, with members of BCMTouring, for the photography meet we had organized there.
A bright sunny day, coupled with an impressive display of Trains from yesteryears made our day as we clicked away to glory.
It is one museum in Delhi, which I believe every one should visit at least once in their life time (especially if you are interested in photography).
Here are few of my favorite photographs from yesterday’s outing:
Number plate of a diesel rail engine
Bidhan Rail Engine of Indian Railways
1897 Hasang Train Engine, smallest steam engine ever used in Indian sub-continent

WAM1 is not a diesel engine, perhaps a typing error here
