Fantastic picture - This is how the Mahatma travelled! Not to speak of the rest of the general population.

ya looks really good and looks alike 2 the indian WDM1 for this is the ALCo world series DL500 ..it has been exported 2 somany countries and they all looks similar except those australian DL500 , they had dual cab on either ends and did not need a turn table like the WDM1 in India , well they still oparate in others countries but the Indian govt and the IR desided 2 eat them up , and well my lifes goal is 2 buy a WDM1 and restore it ...really , no kiddin

ummmm..thats not really a WGD type livery...the loco in the pic belongs 2 Ernakulam or VKSP as mostly the the fraight trains are hauled by VKSP, BNDM,Ernakulam,KGP locos from different coal minesand other places too

All old village and countryside stations in India have a banyan tree. This station too has one. Classic pics, keep it up

Magnificient & Imposing. On the left you can see a Dynamo run on the steam turbine system & on the left you can see electric wires going to the flasher light. I pray & hope that these steam locomotives are still used ? Sunny .

THis loco is of the BK Class...Bagnall made this loco...W.G.Bagnall of UK is the builder.

Hello,
Wonderful slide...these NG Tanks were of the Egyptian Delta type...They were made by W.G.Bagnall of UK....I recall that there is no Class called as Bagnall Class...

Is it still AKR?

David, nice combination of light and shadows and the life in this part of West Bengal. As of 1996, things have not changed much.

all said and done!! when will the finishing improve. And the paint job, it's a matter of time before this engine will be unrecognisealbe.
