I felt sad when I saw Ki&Ka movie. There was a scene pictured in the film in the National Railway Museum where the hero takes heroine on a date. Being a Delhiite, I have never been to railway museum and I felt a tremendous wave of anger on myself. Then happened nothing, but I planned a visit to National Rail Museum.
The first of its kind in the country, The National Railway Museum of India is situated in the embassy region of Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. This museum focuses on preserving rail heritage of the country. Here you can see many models of trains, signaling equipment, antique furniture, etc. If you want to spend a day with friends or family, then you will have fun here for sure.
I guess I am the one & only who went wildly successful in running with the train. The person who went with me said, are you really serious?
The Indoor Gallery displays a combination of historical collection, train models, interactive games, etc. Apart from the gallery, you can also enjoy toy train ride, 3D virtual reality experience, miniature India, rail garden here.
Rail Museum brings back fond memories of antiquity. I hope you enjoyed with me. It was fun, craziness, a childhood that came out over there.

COOL…WHAT BIG BUFFER PLATES YPU ARE BETWEEN! 🙂 I am a railway enthusiast, myself…although less active than when I was younger! One of my treasured possessions–although I can’t play it–is a Nick Lero video tour of the steam trains of India NS Pakistan.
Great Tour – glad you had a good time and thanks for sharing. 🙂
Glad you liked it.
Nice photos and writing. Delhi does have so many jewels hidden. have you seen the sound and light shows at Purana Qila and Red Fort?
Yes, I have been there. They are full of creativity and drama. I’ll try to write and share their photographs as well.
Great photos!
Thank you
This place has greatly improved over the last two years. I have been here three times. Still a few more things are yet to come up. Whosoever planned and executed this venture….Hats off
Three times! That’s cool. I hope to visit there again in future.
Glad to know about it..Very informative post!

Hey I have some destructive criticism; First) next time start a fire in the proximity of the lamb/sheep so that it will inspire some more drama (urgency)
2nd) Wear a “Flash” costume when running in front of the train, it will add more realism.
3rd) when posing for the shot where you keep the trains apart wear a Super Girl outfit, and it is alright not to show signs of stress or sweat, after all you will be as Super Girl it would be a breeze, a snap to be stronger that a “locomotive”
There should be more destructive criticism bu am feeling generous, so generous in fact that I will now shut off adblocker (penny blocker to you).
And oh yes, what a beautiful post and who is the pretty girl???????
Haha, the first featured image is a still from a Bollywood film. So, that pretty girl is not me obviously. Aw. Never mind. I like your criticism and I am really enjoying reading it. I will keep your points in mind for future. I hope I’ll be able to do more craziness in future and this time with costume. Agh, who’s gonna pay for it. Yay, my ads huh!
Yes, and it will be fine if the pennies made could only procure tatters of the Super Hero outfit cause A Super Hero gets a lot of wear and tear on outfits which are not invulnerable as the Hero is.
Of course I was kidding, the pretty girl is you (Usotupid)
Hehe, giggling 😄😄
Great pics! I’ve always loved trains. 🙂

Happy Blogging!!
Thank you for nominating me
You’re welcome!!
I am a rail fan, and I enjoy railroad. If I am ever in India, I hope to visit that museum. As a writer of railroad articles and railroad photographer, I enjoy thy post. Thank you for the great photos.
Railroad writer and photographer, wow your job must be interesting… You must visit India for sure, we have few of the railroads which are listed under world heritage like Toy Train. You’ll like it here.
Hope to visit some day.
Hi, Falak! Thank you for the lovely pictures at the railway museum. Please don’t be mad at yourself if you can’t go to many places. It is expensive to do these kinds of things and it is okay if we can’t always go. It will make it very special when you can get to go to something. I can’t go here, so thank you for showing us!
You know I have such a crave for traveling that I keep dreaming about the place where I have to go. I want to explore the ful city at least I live in.
Love these shots, esp. of you running and of you between cars. So creative! 🙂
Haha I am glad you are not laughing at it…
Nope, no laughing! 🙂
Better late than never and thanks for sharing. Oh, yes, Ki & Ka. That scene was lovely. Arjun’s character sure had a thing for trains!
Oh, the arrangements he made through trains were simply marvelous…
I liked your running pose in front of the train and the buffer sandwich between two wagons not to mention the sweet captions for each picture perfected by you in them 🙂
Yea it was really fun to do such poses…
Very interesting. Thank you. 🙂
