Following the vandalising of brass fittings of the vintage steam engine - the 156 years old "Fairy Queen" (EIR 22), the winter special run for tourists between Delhi Cantonment to Alwar and v.v. has been held this season using the giant Pacific Class steam engine WP-7161 named Akbar, from the Rewari Steam Center. This engine was retired from service in 1996 while it was based at Saharanpur (Northern Railway).
Seen here is the "Steam Express" in action as it rushes past Shahabad Mohammadpur station at 9:37 AM on Feb 11, 2012, on its way to Alwar hauling a special tourist train.
