The Toy Train at Kamati Baug

Long long back Sir Sayayajirao Gaekwad III got a toy train for royal kids for them to go to school. Kids grew up and

they gifted the train to the kids of Baroda state. And it was brought to the Kamati Baug of Vadodara(Baroda). Every

individual who has grown up in Baroda, must have enjoyed a ride in this train many many times specially in Vacation. Today we also are grown up and may not again board this train, but this PPT will certainly bring those our memories

back to life. Enjoy!!

The train on platform no 1 is ready for departure. Passengers are requested to take their seats in the train...Round journey of 3.5 KM will take around 20 minutes.We wish all the kids an exciting journey!!

The train will take turn and say bye bye to Planetarium..

The toy train will cruse through the garden passing by roads..

It will cross roads.. The rails inside main tracks is known as “guard rails”. In case of derailment, the guardrail stops engine and train going away from the tracks.

Kids will enjoy the ride when train passes over a bridge..

.. They will scream when train will pass through tunnel that is around 50 feet long and having a slight curve..

.. Passes through almost jungle, but within the garden zoo itself…

Kids will he hello and bye bye to birds when train finds its way through bird zoo..

In past when the train was hauled by steam engine, it used to halt here at Pankhinagar to fill water tank. Now a days, it has become an "express" train and does not stop at Pankhinagar.. :-)

After plying entire garden including zoo, pankhinagar, floral clock, band stand, traffic park, play area, train is returning to the Ajayabghar to drop the kids who have completed the ride, and who are eagerly waiting to start their ride at station.
