Today there is a news item reporting on a new steam loco - AKBAR.
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3904783.ece
Its id says WP 7161. As per the report, it is being readied for running a train from Delhi Cantt to Sariska - which was earlier done by the Fairy Queen - world's oldest operational steam loco. Fairy queen was vandalised and its precious parts were stolen and has probably gone back for repairs.
But the interesting thing is - AKBAR was earlier known as DOARS QUEEN. You can compare the two below.
So what is the story? .... Why did this gender change happen? Why could not the repairs be completed at Rewari? Perhaps the press will tell us!
