Google is celebrating the first Indian passenger Train Journey


Google is on Tuesday celebrating the 160th anniversary of the first passenger train journey in India with a doodle on its homepage.

Do you know: When our first Indian Passenger Train Ran?

On April 16, 1853, the first commercial passenger train chugged out of Bori Bunder, in Bombay to Thane, covering a distance of 34 kilometres. The train was hauled by three locomotives, Sahib, Sindh, and Sultan.

The search engine giant takes its visitors on a short journey into the history of Indian Railways, with a train pulled by a steam engine along the palm-lined railway track. The first 'O' of Google depicts the front part of the steam engine of the passenger train.
