Visit To National Rail Museum
On 5th December,2018 the students of Grade 4 Cambridge visited the the National Rail Museum situated in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi which focuses on the rail heritage of India. The trip focused at understanding the history and development of the Indian railway system for the theme Modes of Communication.
Students enthusiastically boarded the bus and we reached the venue by 10:30 A.M. After buying the tickets the students took a round of the park and observed the different Engines and carriages on display. They admired Fairy Queen, the world's oldest working steam locomotive in operational service and understood that the fist engines ran on steam. They were also amazed to see the different Saloon Carriages used by the Prince of Wales, Maharaja of Mysore and Maharaja of Indore.
The concept of Time line was discussed with the students as they observed the different types of engines- Steam, Diesel and Electric. The students also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of Steam and Diesel engines that made them understand the need and importance of Electric engines. Students displayed interest in reading more about the displays and also took notes.
Next the students visited the Mini museum which had an interesting displays of the parts of Train. They closely observed the furniture, doors and toiletries from carriages used in during the olden times. Several miniature models of CRANE TANK, Kalka Shimla Rail Bus, Matheran Rail Car No 8899, Fireless Steam Locomotive, Steam Locomotive A -885 HASANG and Steam Locomotive X -37385 (This engine was used for trains to Ooty.) etc. fascinated the students.
We ended our trip by enjoying the Mini Rail ride around the town which was the most looked forward moment of the trip. Students returned back to school still discussing about the trip and shared their notes.
