Our Visit to Chennai Rail Museum’s Joy Train :)
They have also installed various artworks at many places across the museum. Here is a painting created by a few kids of the ICF family –
Last time, I did not go for a ride in the little joy train there. Actually, it’s a real train that runs on real tracks. Just that it’s relatively small 🙂
Frankly, traveling on that little train seemed like a childish thing to do (back then – during my previous visit). But with age, it seems like I have rediscovered the child in me, as this time we not only went in that joy train but we have also created an elaborate video from that ride (embedded above). In fact, the joy train ride was the focus of our visit. Hmm… 🙂
If you are also interested in rediscovering the child in you, here are the timings for the joy train ride 🙂
The ticket cost of Rs. 40 now includes permission to take photos in cell phone and one joy train ride. Rejoice, all you Chennaiiets 🙂
If you are planning a visit here, just don’t go on a Monday – it’s the weekly holiday. For more details and pics, refer to my earlier blog post.

This is still a big train compared to the one we took few months back here in Canada…it is mostly wooden and just high enough to accommodate adults 🙂
Oh, I have never been on a wooden train!

We had visited this place with kids of our relatives an year back and enjoyed the toy train ride too! I have got many pictures of this museum! It is very good!
Oh, good. You could write a blog post about your visit no?

Glad you had fun taking the toy train ride, and I think apart rediscovering the child within, it’s the company you got made it possible 🙂
Will check the museum soon
You are absolutely right 🙂 Do visit when possible 🙂

I have been to Delhi rail museum many years back and it was amazing! nice post!
I did come across Delhi rail museum while searching for this rail museum. Probably you could visit it once again and post some pics on your blog 🙂

Nice video. But the other photos are not showing up for some reason. We have been going in trains a lot these days since our kid loves trains. Should take him to rail museum in India sometime.
