She was the first woman to be hired by Central Railways in 1988.
Yadav faced gender-based discrimination early in her career but persisted.
She hopes to inspire more women to join the male-dominated field of locomotive driving.
The Vande Bharat Express is India's first semi-high speed fully air-conditioned train.
