The "Steam Express" chugs on the outskirts of Delhi on March 8, 2014 en route from Delhi Cantonment to Alwar (in Rajasthan) carrying tourists to the Sariska Tiger Reserve, hauled by the broad-gauge workhorse of the Indian Railways - WP Class locomotive No. 7161 "Akbar" - named after the great Mughal Emperor. This locomotive is homed at the Rewari Steam Center in Haryana State, India; and is used for the fortnightly special runs to Alwar and back to Delhi Cantonment every winter. All mainline trains on this route presently hauled by powerful diesel locomotives will be replaced by 25 Kv AC electric engines in due course. Traction poles were seen being installed on this route near Alwar, in December 2013. The steam loco crew gave me a welcome toot as the train passed by!
