The Fairy Queen first started functioning for the East Indian Raiway in the year 1855. After a decade of operation, the train stopped from running in 1908, and it was only after a hiatus of around 90 years that the train was brought back.

The Fairy Queen has also been the proud recipient of the National Tourism Award.
