  • India’s first deluxe train, the iconic Deccan Queen, recently celebrated its 93rd anniversary of operations between Pune and Mumbai. 
  • Its inaugural journey on June 1, 1930 marked a significant moment in the history of the Great Indian Peninsula (GIP) Railway, the predecessor of Central Railways. 
  • Deccan Queen was introduced to serve the two important cities of Mumbai and Pune, taking its name from the latter, which was also known as the Queen of Deccan.
  • The train has been fitted with a new Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) rake since last year, which is believed to be more secure, comfortable, and have a higher carrying capacity, speed potential and better safety features.
  • Deccan Queen is the only train in the country with a dining car, which caters to 32 passengers and offers table service. It also boasts modern pantry facilities such as a microwave, deep freezer, and toaster, along with cushioned chairs and a furnished dining car.
