Very interesting picture - according to Hughes C-2 should be a CWD supplied in 1943. Perhaps the Canadian WPs were delivered with numbers starting with C-1 in error, and later renumbered starting at C-251

Interesting epigraphy on the brass plates: Top plate, "Surakhsha pratham", i.e., "safety first". Bottom plate just above the doors of the coal furnace, "Koyla swadisht hai", meaning "the coal is tasty". The loco appears to be tastefully decorated inside.

C-2, perhaps referring to the Canadian import of the first WPs?

But it was based for most, if not all, of its life at Kurdavadi (KWV) if I'm reading the number correctly as 724.

Good news, Harsh!

I photographed YL 5010 working an Express from Varanasi in 1980. The loco then had deflectors and decorations.

Thanks, Harsh, for your whole series of steam loco photos.

I wonder if two drivers from this loco could have replaced two mis-matched drivers in WP #7200 as seen at http://tinyurl.com/2kkzsg ?
