First Indian Passenger Train
The dawn of rail travel
India’s first passenger train ran on 16 April 1853 between Bombay (now Mumbai) and Thane. Pulled by three steam locomotives, it carried over 400 passengers across 34 km. This marked the beginning of the Indian Railways, which has since grown into one of the world’s largest rail networks.
