Thank you for this! It is one of the very few photos I have seen of a N class loco on a train. They were built for the GIPR but were transferred to the NWR after electrification. They were 2-10-0 with 4 cylinders. Posted by John Lacey on 2011 Apr 04 03:59:09 +0000 |

Ramdev, compare the population and traffic density today with what existed a hundred years ago. If you go to some of the less populated areas of India today which have a low density of rail traffic, you will find the same levels of cleanliness.

Ramdev, each situation has its own pros and cons. It is better to take the best of both sides and try to work out a solution to all problems. An ideal situation would be to be an independent nation with standards of cleanliness, hygiene, efficiency superior to any in the world. The British gave IR birth, but the upbringing was by Indians.

Just look at the tracks as to how clean they are compared to the tracks at stations today. Also notice the clenliness of the loco and the station surroundings. I feel that the Indian Raiwlays today, is going back to the stone ages. Posted by Ramdev Gowda on 2010 Aug 12 21:07:34 +0000 |

Look at the three British gentlemen by the loco. They look so trim and disciplined. The British rule also I guess was very disciplined unlike the hopeless governments we see today in India. Posted by Ramdev Gowda on 2010 Aug 12 21:03:58 +0000 |

Not to mention the cleanliness all around. Cleanliness is something the IR fails to accomplish quite consistently. Posted by Dinesh Hukmani on 2010 Aug 12 18:02:36 +0000 |

Yes, Jimmy sir, compare these carriages to the ones today. We have Sardine tin cans today. In a way I feel that things were better under the British. Posted by Ramdev Gowda on 2010 Aug 11 18:52:18 +0000 |
