A little correction: This loco was supposed to be transferred to Nanded. The one which is plinthed at Mariani Junction isYG 3213.

That's great piece of information Santulan.... thanks for sharing.
Awesome shot Nirav.

Nice to see it preserved but badly needs a paint job. Especially the rust colour of Western Railway is not up to it.

thanks for sharing the info which i wasnt knowing at all. :)

BTW is there any such steam loco databse which u maintain ? :)

Nice to see another German gentleman of IR being preserved.It was built by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. in 1954. Kraus-Maffei now makes defence machinery. I guess it was one of the last MG steams of Wankaner shed operating as late as 1999. Manufacturer's serial No. KrM-18031 Quite a long service period of 55 years.

This is an MAWD class of loco.

#1798, Manufacturer Number Blw 37997 built in 1948 and was homed at APDJ. However, originally belonged to BBCIR (#1000) and then NER (#1822). Used in the Brahamaputra by Steam Chartar between Guwahati and Pandu.

Again a beautiful shot. :)
You framed it really well.

Thanks for the info Harsh sir. I was not sure about the builder

WP 7278 (MLW 77360) was amongst the second batch of WP class locomotives built for East Indian Railway by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1949 after the first batch of prototype WP/P supplied by Baldwin in 1947 were deemed successful.
