Looks like the nose of the WP has been redone. Did the original WP's have such a conical or perfectly hemispherical nose? Doubt raised by Poochi Venkat

Look at someone throwing bad words and lifting his hands in anger at Surya Nagari Exp. Lucky that Surya Nagari Exp did not arrive a few seconds earlier

This most probably would be the 376 DN passenger between Delhi and Shahjehanpur. I joined as Assistant Engineer Bareilly on 21.12.1993 and this was the only train running on steam engine then. I have some very fond memories of footplating on steam engine on 376/375. Unfortunately, it got dieselised in my tenure itself, in 1994-95.

the loco shed is Laksar(now non-existent), used to have WGs and CWDs.

same location as that of http://www.irfca.org/gallery/Uploads/YDM4_6601MathuraJunction9-3-92.jpg.html

WP and WG generated wonderful rhythm when running. Ride was good (by steam standards) and certainly superior to AWD or H class locos.

Thanks a million for sharing these images.

even before looking at "1984" in the remarks, I could tell that these photos are of pre-Scindhia era!! The station has undergone sea change now.

Beautiful picture! Looking forward for more of them.

What a fantastic photograph!!! Straight out of a picture postcard.

all this is now gone and the place is full of electric catenary.
