The loco's profile reminds me of the Metropolitan Vickers EA/1. Posted by Gallery Administrator on 2005 Mar 31 02:27:21 +0000 |

Oh my god!! What a terrible sight. My heart really weeps at this tragic picture! I have seen this loco so many times when I used to stay in Madras, near Kodambakkam station. It used to cruise past with the many evening MG trains, which are extinct now. Scrap vendors must be having a great time selling the Japanese electricals. What is the condition of the other YAM's?

Alok: This humanoid logo is not typical of TATA shed, but it is the logo of "Electrical Engineering Service" (or something similar) of SER. Thats why you find lot of BIA (Bhilai) & TATA locos with that logo. The practice is now discontiued and you find them in the rather older locos only.

True. But I think IR should become less stringent about standards and should keep a bare minimum standard for such work while allowing sheds and zones some freedom in designing the rest of the schemes. This way, IR gets what it wants and so does everyone else. For example, the Railway Board should specify exactly how the numbers must be written on the front of the loco while leaving it to the shed to decide how it must be painted on the sides according to their own paint schemes.

I forgot to add, there is a trip shed at Ajni but it is a pain taking locos there and bringing them back in the already congested section unless they need some form of light repair or maintenance and so locos are not sent there. Posted by Gallery Administrator on 2005 Mar 17 06:02:05 +0000 |

Hello Jimmy! Nope, unfortunately, there is none in Nagpur yard. As a result, locos are stabled on a loco stabling line. Locos do not stand at this place anymore. It has since been extended and merged with PF No.3 The line to the left of this one now acts as a stabling line and can hold 7 locos. There is a large shed right in the middle of Nagpur yard on the Delhi end but that is used by NGP for repairing coaches of all things!!! They do not seem to ahve their priorities set right!

This is certainly one of the cleanest WAP5s I've seen. Ghaziabad is getting way better!
