IRCTC on Wednesday took to Twitter to announce a unique deal on the Steam Express between Garhi Harsaru to Farukhnagar.

The minimal price on offer is Rs 10, which is cheaper than a general ticket to travel the entire length of the Mumbai suburban networ between Churchgate and Virar.

To fulfill the commitment by Chairman Railway Board during his visit to Farukhnagar, the weekly steam train “Swachhata Express”was inaugurated and flagged off on September 15, 2018 by CRB Ashwani Lohani alongwith GM Northern Railway, PCME Arun Arora and DRM/DLI.

On its website, IRCTC said, "It is a great day in the history of Indian Railways that Heritage is being preserved and its display and ride is now open to public at a normal fare of Rs. 10."

Presently the train is being hauled by WP7200 AZAD, a broad gauge 1947, make steam locomotive.

The locomotive has been restored to its pristine beauty with its revival being carried out at Heritage Steam Shed, Rewari and DEMU-Shed, Shakurbasti.
