********A "Brief Description" about Regional Rail Museum, ICF, Chennai – A tourist spot near Perambur/Villivakkam!*********
Brief Description: If you are wondering whether there would ever be a tourist spot near Perambur, Villivakkam area in Chennai, stop. You may not believe it, but there is one – The Regional Rail Museum @ ICF, Chennai!! This is located on the main road (New Avadi road) and it is close to the Villivakkam junction.
I must say that they have done the Regional Rail Museum in the ICF complex, quite well! I I guess...

most people in Chennai are not aware of this wonderful museum! The ticket counter is designed like a railway coach. BTW, Entry is 10rs, Camera is 20rs & Toy train ride is 10rs. I didn’t buy the last ticket (I thought toy train is only for kids!), but I recommend everyone to buy all the three. Museum Timings: 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

1 The First photo shows John Flower’s single-cylinder wood-fired steam engine.(Also known as FLOWER PLOUGHING ENGINE) It seems, it was made in 1895 and was used to plough agricultural land in England/elsewhere. It weighs a whopping 23 tonnes and has wide wheels to take that heavy load. This one is located right in front of the new gallery.
