QUIZ: The year is 1965 and the locomotive is a recent transfer to this zone/shed as witnessed by the painted over zone letters. Those familiar with the area would perhaps recognise the unique backdrop. Can you identify the location?

Actually the "Assam Type" house behind the tender is a dead giveaway. And the hills in the background suggests it is the Gauhati Goods Yard or New Guwahati as it is known today. Pity I only saw the photo today!

Wow! That was one of the wildest of guesses! Yet to see the place...

Yes, it is Gauhati as it was known then. Thanks everyone for your comments.
