Tweed
Built by Sharp Stewart of Manchester in 1873, former metre gauge D class locomotive Tweed was in its 106th year of service when photographed at work at the Saraya Sugar Mills in India during February 1979. Along with a similar locomotive 'Mersey' at another sugar mill, these were thought to be the the oldest steam locomotives in regular service in the world at the time.
