Our 20 DN Gorakhpur Howrah Express (now 3020 Kathgodam-Howrah Bagh Express) was powered by one of these beasts in 1987. In those times, there was an loco change(diesel-electric) at Asansol, where WAM2/1 took over. I have never seen these at ASN, so there must be another loco change (diesel-diesel)at Barauni.

I recall seeing these steam beauties at Belgaum Steam Loco Shed with pictures of Elephants and Kangaroos’ depicted on them. And very interesting to see Miraj station layout unchanged and unfazed over so many years - the trademark ROB is evident!. Posted by Kunal Doddanavar on 2012 May 23 17:42:01 +0000 |

The name board reads "Bombay Mail". Wonder which one it is, Howrah/Bombay (ER/BNR) or Madras-Bombay Mail?
