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.

This loco is presently kept in front of Roorkee Railway Station, and is operated on every Fridays and Sundays
