YP 2684 on fast passenger 332 Dhola Junction - Jetalsar. As we were footplating the engine, we could just phot it during stops. Loco staff were especially proud of their time-keeping and perfectly running YP. Just after this shot was taken, 95 kph were reached on the next section, proving the capability of steam traction even in its last days ! This was just one of the best and most terrific thrash I've ever seen on the footplate of a steam locomotive, and it is with a slight legs-shaking that we left the friendly crew at Jetpur!
