India's First Passenger Train Google Doodle April 16 2013.

Google doodle celebrates the 160th anniversary of India's first passenger train. The doodle has a train, pulled by a steam engine, chugging along over a background dotted with palm trees and a structure in the distance. India's first passenger train chugged out of Bori Bunder. The first railway passenger journey in India happened on April 16, 1853. Three steam locomotives, Sultan, Sindh and Sahib, took 400 invited passengers in 14 carriages on a 57 minute journey. The Indian government, in 1953, released a stamp to mark the hundred year anniversary of the event.


However, this was not the first train running in India. Railway lines for hauling materials had been laid as early as 1835. Most of the earliest railways were pulled by horses or men.
