Similar plates were visible on WAM-2 and WAM-3 locos based at Asansol

Dear Samitda, these plates were lovingly called "HMT" by railwaymen in Chennai area during the MG days

Earlier it used to have the title "Pallava King", although it is not seen in this picture. This is given in Hughes (Vol 4). I had seen this name on the loco in 1967.

If you travel to Villupuram, you could see the MG rakes with motorman's cabs at a small station named Vikravandi.

I forgot to mention that this loco still has the stand to place the train board. This suggest that she was once used in Vagai / Pallavan twins

Perhaps it should be sent to the National Rail Museum-but it is unlikely to be looked after properly.
