The National Rail Museum in Chanakyapuri, Delhi, displays exhibits on the history of rail transport in India. The museum was inaugurated on 1 February 1977. The museum spans over an area of over 4.4 hectares (11 acres) and the indoor gallery comprises an octagonal building which houses six display galleries and a large open area is laid out to simulate the atmosphere of a railway yard. 

We went there one afternoon to admire the various railway exhibits.

Like a true rail museum, it also has a toy train that you can ride, which takes you around the premises.
