The river was so full in those days

Super pics. Do you have more of these last days of steam pics? According to the docmentry "Indian Steam Summer" by BBC, this was the last route to have regular steam services. The reporter footplated on this banker

Oh I've always loved this photo! Its been with me for a long time. I see you've colour corrected it. I have the one with all that authentic looking yellow tint ;-). Great pic. Reminds me of the Hindi Movie Lagaan too! Thanks, Stewart.

Nice pica indeed

This very loco was subsequently transferred to Mhow shed and I have had the good fortune of riding on it in Jan'96 hauling a republic day special between Mhow and Ratlam! It was condemmed a few months later..

Superb set of pics! Jimmy & Sandeep - thanks for sharing!

Yes: this was the link between the North and South MG systems: the line between Khandwa and Hingoli was opened in 1960.

does that mean, we used to have MG line all the way from Jaipur to Hyderabad? i'll miss those old MG days...

yep mate, the meter gauge electrification comment is absolutely right!!!coz electrification on metetr gauge is only left in tamilnadu now.....i think.

Fantastic series of SR MG steam. I remember the Sengottai passenger from '87 was steam driven - it took the "main line". (These pics are definitely SR - look at the catenary)
