Another loco YP-2211 beside the Wankaner Loco Shed. There is only half part of loco found. This loco is only in better position.
You can see these YP's from the BG main line platforms. I have seen these YP's getting painted somewhere in Feb 2009. Are these to be transported somewhere to get plinthed ?

The job of loco pilots during steam days, was probably very demanding and difficult. They had no protection of any kind that is currently available for diesel and electric loco pilots. The literally 'burning' surroundings meant that they worked under very harsh conditions. Hats off to them!!

As far as i my memory helps me, i remember that the LP used to be intermittently hanging outside for better view near crossings/stations....

Can't believe the locos are still there! And no, NIMACH does not stand for North Indian etc. In fact the conventional spelling from British days has been Neemuch!And MHOW is simply the anglicisation of Mahoo, the original name of the town...we can debate this endlessly on derailed if you like.

Wow, wonderful bit of information, Sachin Bhai. How many locos are there in Neemuch?

MHOW stands for Military Headquarters of War

That's an interesting bit of information about the name Nimach - tks for sharing. As for the steamers, it seems little has changed since Mohan and me passed through there a few years back.

I'm glad the loco is preserved: it was the first of the ZD class built in 1957, but the loco did run on the CR.
