In 1964, the Taj Express embarked on its historic route from New Delhi to Agra. Designed for tourists, it slashed travel time from over three hours to approximately two and a half hours. This high-speed marvel allowed visitors to explore the Taj Mahal and nearby monuments before returning to Delhi.
Initially pulled by a steam engine, it later transitioned to diesel locomotives and extended its reach to Gwalior and Jhansi. The Taj Express remains a testament to seamless rail travel, connecting India’s cultural gems.
