WP/1 7161 after the completion of journey from Alwar rests at Delhi Cantt. The old fellow ran at 60kmph in some portions of its journey and I think it ran slow just to keep with the schedule. Original schedule was prepared for Fairy Queen and even the booking slip code is FQ001.
Apart from being heavier than the regular WP locos, the significant external feature was in WP/1 was the design of the driving wheels. WP/1 driving wheels had petal like design. (Santulan Mahanta)

Abhishek, Fairy Queen returned to North ecently after PoH. But I didn't see it in Delhi Cantt. Perhaps again resting at Rewari shed. This year again Fairy Queen's service is served by #7161. Perhaps Rewari decided to give some rest to great grand mother
