Saharanpur shed staff pose along the cab side of XC 1865 at the retirement of driver Mr. Kear. This locomotive began its working life under North Western Railway from which Eastern Punjab Railway was created. With 28 XC class locomotives in its rooster at its peak, North Western Railway was the largest single user of these locomotives in India. Subsequently, this locomotive was transferred to Eastern Railway and renumbered 22249 in 1957. It finished its working life at Burdwan shed in the early 1980s. Courtesy Hal Hughes. (Viraf Mulla)
