Gallery Steam Locomotives Motipur Sugar Mill 1605_G.jpg

No. 2, a Baldwin 4-6-0T ex-WD First World War loco - the last of its type still in India. Motipur is a sad place. The mill, formerly a family-run affair, was nationalised by the Bihar state government, run by a nationalist party, and promptly closed leaving most of the townspeople out of work. All attempts to get the mill reopened have come to nothing, but the former managers still man the premises and keep the equipment in order. 2004-03-16.
