True to its name, Fairy
Queen makes the distinction between reality and fantasy blurred. As the Fairy
Queen starts its journey from Delhi to Alwar, there is a display of atmospherics-surging
steam and charcoal clouds lifting into the sky. Fairy Queen is the oldest working
steam engine and consequently has found a place in Guinness Book of World Records.
The train's first innings started in 1855 and ended in 1908. After many years
of inconclusive political and financial wrangling on affordability, Fairy Queen
finally allowed to start its second innings in 1997.
Fairy Queen moves
leisurely at a speed of 40 kms, thereby revealing different facets of India. The
duration of journey being short, it still manages to provide vast experience in
its two days-one night package. The journey takes you from Delhi to the Tiger
Reserve in Sariska with an overnight stay on twin sharing basis in the luxury
Hotel Sariska Palace.
