The museum is located in New Delhi, Chanakyapuri, and is primarily vehicles from the history of Indian Railways. It was opened on the 125th anniversary of the railway in 1977 in India.

Since a very large number of technically quite different paths originated in India in different ownership - only the track widths are between 610 mm and 1676 mm - are also the exhibits correspondingly varied. Oldest exhibit is the "Fairy Queen", a steam locomotive from 1855, which is preserved roadworthy. She was the second locomotive, which came to India and the first locomotive that was assembled in India. In addition, 22 more locomotives are exhibited. In addition, 17 saloon car of the Maharajas, the Government of British India and the British royal family are shown. In addition to the car collection - which is mainly presented in the open air - models, plans, railway technology and communication systems will be exhibited in a museum building.
