WG 9276 Jhajha
Had it been discovered a decade earlier Jhajha in the Bihar State of eastern India would have been a Mecca for steam enthusiasts. In 1979 most freight was diesel, but all but the most prestigious expresses were still steam hauled, required an engine change and most departing southbound trains required banking over a low range of hills.
Train 50 DN bound for Howrah (Calcutta) departs Jhajha on the morning of 1979.01.12 with WP 7446 up front and WG 9276, built by Hitachi of Japan in 1955, banking at the rear.
