The Museum has detailed records of

historic moments like the challenging construction of

the underground stretch at Chawri Bazar which is

considered to be among the toughest tunneling

projects in the world and the construction of the

Shahdara station which required huge relocation.

More than 400 families were moved out of the area

and shifted to Ghazipur to make way for the station.

Interesting records like how the first trains rolled into Delhi and how they were placed on the tracks, and about the driver who drove people on Delhi's first ever

Metro ride are tabulated with photographs and written records.
