Hmmm.. If this is not supposed to be an IR line and if Harsh's second assumption is correct, could this be a photo from the Achalpur - Murtazapur - Uavatmal line?

I am only guessing but would it be one of the 2' gauge 2-8-2 from Mysore iron and Steel at Bhadravati?
It does look more like a B/1 or D/1 from CR.

Thanks a lot for the pics. Now I can understand where the steam (trip) shed at Bangalore was

Look at photo at this location http://www.irfca.org/photos/PavanMisc/DSCN0721.

Hard to believe that structure stands till today though the steam locos have long gone! I saw it just 2 weeks back when I had gone to BNC. It is now used a goods depot

Holy cow!! the KKs powerhorses stand at the exact same place today! Too good photos

The crane must be having dual brakes, or atleast brake pipes for air brakes in case the rest of the breakdown rake is air braked.

This looks strange. I can kind off make out two brake hose pipes of the Air Brake type. Such an old machine with Air Brakes? Or was it converted?

As per my friend Velarasu it says "Tiruchirappalli Junction Welcomes You."

can someone tell the entire tamil inscription in case anyone has read it completely?
