The BG section features WL #15005 which was involved an unfortunate accident some time ago. The loco suffered some burst boiler tubes. The entire boiler is now stripped and the tubes stacked neatly next to it.

AWE #22907 proudly bears the 'Palace on Wheels' name plate. The loco had recently returned from Patiala after being involved in the filming of the Saif Ali Khan starrer 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi'.

XE #3634 bears the name Pawan Doot. The loco is currently not in running condition, awaiting some spare parts.

Rewari is no more the MG mecca that used to be. The station is now fully converted to BG and this is all that remains of the MG platforms.

Very nice Shanx. So good to see impressive locos of the Golden Era rather than the current engines.

heart breaking to see the kings "rusting" in peace.
