Fairy Queen (locomotive)
The Fairy Queen, built in 1855, is the world's oldest steam locomotive in regular operation today, plying between New Delhi to Alwar in India (note that the oldest operable steam locomotive in existence currently is the John Bull, which was built in 1831; however, the John Bull is preserved in mostly static display). The locomotive was certified by the Guinness Book of Records to be the oldest operational locomotive after the Rajasthan government invoked it in 2004 to lug a deluxe train in order to boost tourism in the area.
