one of the best liveries i've seen: yellow and green, and the loco matched it as well. it was replicated in the inaugural Udyan Express too. the 9 coach Karnataka Exp and the Brindavan (also in dark green/yellow stripes livery) passing through Cox Town were the highlights of my childhood summers spent in Bangalore!

Once upon a time a DQ regular.

What a romantic scene. Steam bankers! What is the present status of Train no. 50?

What a photo!! Stunning. What a clarity

I am sure this is either Madras Mail or Island Express. During those days, these trains got a WP. I fondly remember watching these trains chug past through the level cross at Pullepady, sitting on my dad's lap

Technically speaking this locomotive is a WGx and not a WG. The 'x' letter was used to signify WGs that were fitted with "transition couplers". These could haul rakes fitted with either CBC or hook and screw coupling.

Did they ever get a wash?

Thanks for sharing.

Had seen Kekda(WCG 1 )doing shunting duties at Pune. and they used to make some kind of humming noise.

i saw one YP 112 (not sure about the number) at Bhuj Railway Station. The railway building is getting refurbished with new looks.
