Nice Info
THOMSON, the first locomotive of India
It started working on 22nd December, 1851 by carrying two wagons from Roorkee to Piran Kaliyar, approximately 16 months before the first passenger train of Indian ran - between Thane and Bori Bunder, on 16th April, 1853. However, some articles claim that the RHRR (Red Hill Rail Road) was the first railway of India, built in 1836, but not much info is known about RHRR.....
This loco is presently kept in front of Roorkee Railway Station, and is operated on every Fridays and Sundays

I never knew about all this, just translated everything that was written in Pic 1....
Jenny Lind was the name given to this loco, or it signifies something else?
