Today is 16th April. 166 years ago, on this day, the 1st passenger train ran from Bombay to Thane(34 km) with 400 passengers. NCRly extends greetings to all Indians, especially all rail users on this occasion.(Pic of 1st train & two nostalgic pics of old Allahabad & Kanpur stns).

Sorry for nitpicking. The first photo is not that of the first train in India. This was a picture taken in 1855 at the Dapoorie viaduct.
The first train had 14 carriages and 3 locomotives, which is very different from what we see in this photo.
