{'indian railways': [2, 0, 5, 2], 'indrail pass': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'north western railway': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'train': [0, 1, 6, 2], 'jodhpur': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'travel': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'fairy queen': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'journey': [0, 1, 3, 2], 'ticket': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'engine': [0, 0, 2, 2], 'heritage sites': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is Option 2, which indicates that only Statement 3 is correct. Let`s analyze each statement:

Statement 1: The headquarter of North Western Railway is in Jaipur, not in Jodhpur, as suggested by the statement. Thus, this statement is incorrect.

Statement 2: The `Indrail pass` is a travel ticket provided by the Indian Railways for foreign tourists and NRIs and not specifically for athletes who have represented India in any game/sport. Hence, this statement is also incorrect.

Statement 3: `Fairy Queen` is indeed a train run by the Indian Railways. The engine of the Fairy Queen, built in 1855, is the world`s oldest working steam locomotive. It also carries passengers for a wildlife and heritage journey. Therefore, this statement is correct.

Hence, only Statement 3 is correct.
