Rewari Railway Heritage Museum, Railway museum in Rewari district, India
The Rewari Railway Heritage Museum is a railway museum in Rewari district that displays a wide collection of steam locomotives, engineering equipment, and artifacts from different periods of rail history. The exhibitions are arranged in both outdoor and indoor spaces, offering a detailed view of how railways developed in the region.
The museum developed from a locomotive shed built in 1893 that served as a major maintenance and operations hub for the Delhi-Peshawar railway line. This historic facility was gradually transformed into a public museum to preserve memories of the steam era that shaped North India's transport system.
The museum houses the Fairy Queen from 1855, certified as the oldest operational steam locomotive in the world by technical institutions.
The museum is a short walk from Rewari railway station and offers free entry with photography allowed throughout the site. Visiting works well year-round, though the warmer months can feel quite hot when exploring the outdoor areas.
One of the oldest still-operating steam locomotives in the world, the Fairy Queen from 1855, is preserved here and still moves regularly along selected routes. This working locomotive allows visitors the rare experience of traveling by rail the way people did in earlier times.
