The Deccan Splendour on Wheels

An exclusive LHB dining car of 'Deccan Queen'

Original Acrylic Painting

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 12x16 inches
Framing: Unframed on canvas board

There are trains, and then there's the Deccan Queen.

Since June 1, 1930, she has made her way between Pune Junction and Mumbai CSMT, carrying not just passengers, but generations of memories. The window seat. The monsoon rain racing down the glass. The unmistakable aroma of hot chai, vada pav, sandwiches and bread cutlets from her legendary dining car.

This painting captures her brand new AC Dining Car, introduced in March 2026 with a special celebration at CSMT, rendered in acrylics with as much accuracy and care as research could allow. From the LHB coach proportions to the livery details, the vestibule connections to the iconic Indian Railways emblem, every element has been studied and painted with respect for the subject.

But beyond the technical detail, this painting carries something more, the warmth of a train that has been, for nearly a century, more than just transport. For countless travellers, she has been a part of celebrations, journeys home, first trips, and quiet mornings with a window seat and a cup of tea.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind hand-painted artwork, not a print or reproduction. A piece for anyone who has ever loved the rhythm of the rails, the charm of an old Indian train, or simply the Deccan Queen herself.
