After lying in neglect around various yards all over the country uncared and unattended, it is indeed an admirable that most the steam engines have found a good home in Rewari, where they are regularly maintained, steamed. While, the engines still look good, I think the Rewari shed should be opened to volunteer participation from steam/rail fans to come help restore the machines, assist in operations etc. To make this model sustainable, more steam runs should be organized and widely advertised so that people keep trickling in and the revenue meter keeps ticking.

Was tough for a Sleeper class ticket for any MAS bound train from Mumbai at a short notice, so I would use 6339 or 7493 Tirupati to get an easy reservation DR-RU, then travel RU-MAS unreserved on 6011! Posted by Sundar Krishnamurthy on 2012 Jun 07 20:02:43 +0000 |

This is the 6339 Nagercoil Express waiting for the third line to clear for its climb at Palasdhari. Posted by Sundar Krishnamurthy on 2012 Jun 07 18:14:44 +0000 |

I can vividly recall my surprise on finding the EMU peek out behind my train when I took this picture in mid '98. Thanks for sharing this! Posted by Sundar Krishnamurthy on 2012 Jun 07 17:38:08 +0000 |

Thanks for sharing my pictures, Harsh. I shot these with a puny Kodak KB 10 camera in early-mid 1998 when I worked in Chennai and made trips back home to Mumbai on these trains Posted by Sundar Krishnamurthy on 2012 Jun 07 17:36:22 +0000 |
