Beautiful...this is probably one of the few pictures that shows WP with boxpok driving wheels. The other pictures show regular solid spoke wheels or mix of both types. Posted by Satish Gune on 2012 May 21 07:31:32 +0000 |

AFAI remember from my one visit to RPM is that the pic is taken from the north side and one can see the south part, so the harbour is on the left of the pic. And the high walls are still there Posted by Vivek Pillay (Oldman) on 2012 Apr 24 03:52:28 +0000 |

This is an XB class locomotive since MSMR did not have any locomotives of the XC class. Many of the MSMR express locomotives including this one were christened as can be seen from the name plate of this locomotive above the middle driving wheel.

My guess is that this loco has overshot the semaphore signal at danger and come to grief in the de-railment dead end pit. Posted by S. Srinivas on 2012 Apr 23 13:17:27 +0000 |
these locos have been built all over the place.. the one in previous photos was built in Austria.
