About Indian Railways
Indian Railways are the largest rail network in Asia and the
world’s second largest under one management. Criss-crossing
the country’s vast geographical spread, Indian Railways are
a multi-gauge, multi-traction system covering over 1 lakh
track kilometres,300 yards, 2300 goodsheds and 700 repair
shops. Its rolling stock fleet includes 8300 locomotives,
39,000 coaching vehicles and 3.5 lakh freight wagons. Its
work force is 1.65 million and it runs some 11,000 trains
everyday, including 7,000 passenger trains. Over the years,
Railways have built up an elaborate and well established
manual information system to help them monitoring their
moving assets. Supported by a dedicated voice communications
network, it collects and transmits information from the
remotest corners of the country to control centres, at the
highest level. The size and complexity of their operations,
growing traffic and changing technologies, placed inevitably
a heavy burden on this manual information system. Need for
its modernisation was therefore felt for sometime.
Luxury Trains of India
Erstwhile Indian Rajputana's fancy with luxury even involved
the trains. Saloons of Royal families always used to be
expensive displays of comfort and luxury. With the end of
the princely rule in India, this could no longer be anyone's
personal belonging. But the bits of what was left of those
times were rejoined by the government thereby
conceptualizing the idea of providing the same age-old royal
palaces on rails.
These tours provides guests a life time experience visiting
Palaces, Forts & Museums, Temples and Hills, mixing with the
people of the land during the day & resting in 'Royal
Saloons" of the train at night. A week or even four days on
the train gives an idea of the varying topography of the
land - fertile plains to rugged hills and desert to forest.

Queen" cover interesting historic cities and quaint towns in
