Interesting photographs, and thanks a lot for sharing! True, never seen so many types of steam locos in action! And the Permanent way looks so clean, so much plastic free those days!!

I recall seeing these steam beauties at Belgaum Steam Loco Shed with pictures of Elephants and Kangaroos’ depicted on them. And very interesting to see Miraj station layout unchanged and unfazed over so many years - the trademark ROB is evident!.
