The End of Steam, Part 2

The End of Steam in India, As Recorded in 1997

By John Smith, 2010

This article is from the website of the Stewartry Camera Club and is reproduced here by generous permission of John Smith. This is Part 2; read Part 1 here.

In this second part we revisit the lines in Gujarat that were the final bastion of metre gauge steam in India. These views are all scans from the original colour negatives unlike the first selection which were scanned from the colour prints. They are stored here at about half their original quality (1500 pixels as opposed to 3400) and are compressed. If you wish to obtain a print at full quality please contact me via the 'About the Stewartry Camera Club' web page.
