BRC WAG1, LKO WDM2, (?)WP. Rajeev, do you know where this was taken? Appears to be somewhere in the north. Interestingly, the WP appears to have been plinthed - judging by the flower pots around it.

Sid, that's not a WG. Seems like a BESA design to me but someone like Harsh would be able to confirm that. The buildings seen here were built in the 1920-30s and if I'm not mistaken, the loco on the left entered service a little after that. I think these locos were brought to the grounds as some sort of exhibit. Why would an EIR and GIP loco work on a construction site near Delhi?

I vaguely remember being told about a railway siding which was was built to haul the stones up the Raisina Hill from NDLS, to enable construction of the (now) Rashtrapati Bhawan, North/South blocks and Parliament House. This was the first picture I found supporting that.

"Come on big brother, let's play!"

BTW Rajeev, was the little one pulling the big one or was it being pushed? And some info on the vintage of this photo maybe...?
