Nice perspective.

Excellent picture. Anant you have done railfanning at Vaitarna hillock before it was too late. Please note that if anyone doing video/photo capture from Vaitarna hillock will be caught by the police who are patrolling the bridge. These are not RPF's. Recently 3 railfans were caught with camera and memory card confisticated. I do not want to name them as I dont want that their future should go for toss.

Nice capture. Where is this location and is there an automatic signalling system in force in this area?

This appears to be one of the 0-6-4T locomotives built by W.G Bagnall for Ahmadpur-Katwa or Burdwan-Katwa sections of McLeods Railway.
If the owner of this locomotive is willing to give it away, it can be restored for placing on a pedestal at the very least. If there is interest, please contact me through the gallery address.

Not really!
This is the boiler number whereas locomotives were usually identified by their maker number or running number.

I too dreamt of owning a locomotive. Had I been successful in buying one, I would have found myself in a similar predicament for sure !!

Shubhrata - Please ask the owner of the two NG locos to contact me off line (s.srinivas@tatatel.co.in) as I can at least give him some advise.
