This is a marvelous picture. This must have been the best livery on IR so far. This train was most important on WR. It was 2901/2902 those days

Samar, MHOW means "Military Headquarters On War". The British chose it because of it's central location. With all the mountains around, it was almost invincible during those days. Mahoo is an indianised version of MHOW

So here is how to spell Mhow. It will come like 'Mahoo' as seen in the hindi spelling.
