Steam Locomotive Spews Thick Smoke
The Fairy Queen steam locomotive is all gloss and shine. A bronze chimney spewing out thick smoke from its crown into the air, which thins to a misty vapour as the engine warms.
The Fairy Queen broad gauge steam locomotive was built in 1855 by Kitson, Thompson & Hewitson, of England for the British firm East India Railways. The petite engine worked from Howrah to Ranigunj (121 miles). After a complete overhaul in Perambur Workshop of the Southern Railway, it panted back to life in 1997.
The Fairy Queen made several trips between New Delhi and Alwar, India (89km of railway track) between 1997 and 1998. It now runs as a tourist train.
