Also note that the CST (MAIN) board is very very rarely (rather never seen by ME used by Motormen). Usually the source abbreviation is used along with the destination above.

Brilliant!!

The first two visible numbers `77**' on the cabside would indicate that it a HPS class locomotive. But then Central Railway never had any HPS locomotives and all HPS engines starting with 77 were with Northern Railway. It could be a recent transfer. It can also be an XA class 4-6-2 locomotive of the IRS class as some were based at Agra for short haul passenger train. Lastly it could be H/2 class 2-8-0 locomotive that were used on both passenger and goods trains. Sorry but there are no indicators from this angle that would make this locomotive stand apart.

Yes Harsh , the location is near LNL ETS. This was day when Pune LNL was converted to AC.

What a regal looking station! great capture!!

13578 is probably a freighter. Look closely, and you'll notice another cab as well. the passenger could be the train in the background. The Passenger almost always gets GTL loco.

Can you tell the exact location of this siding. Is it somewhere near the ETS.

Nice.
Its present avatar isnt anywhere close to its former running MG right from Agra Fort to Siliguri.

classic

Harsh, info about the class of this steamer?
