3.35pm, April 16th, 1853, 21-gun salute, a holiday declaration, 32 km in 57 minutes and hauled by 3 locos - important facts associated with the first rail journey. 171 years of selfless, largely sweet and sometimes bitter service to the nation. Happy birthday, #IndianRailways !
16th April 1853 marked the inaugural run of the first train on Indian soil. 🚂
Since then, Indian Railways has become the heartbeat of our nation, and the engine for its growth.
