INDIAN RAILWAY MUSEUM Indian Railways has a history that spans back over 160 years. The age of steam, like the rest of the world, has passed into history (with a couple of notable exceptions – DHR and NMR). However, there is a history of the preservation of railway history and heritage that stretches back to the early 20th century. Railway companies have retained locomotives that they deemed historically important which they put on plinths at stations and workshops (the famous Fairy Queen and its lesser known but just as important sister Express survive because they were retained and preserved at Howrah station as long as go as 1943).
