That's an interesting bit of information about the name Nimach - tks for sharing. As for the steamers, it seems little has changed since Mohan and me passed through there a few years back.

Wow, wonderful bit of information, Sachin Bhai. How many locos are there in Neemuch?

MHOW stands for Military Headquarters of War

Can't believe the locos are still there! And no, NIMACH does not stand for North Indian etc. In fact the conventional spelling from British days has been Neemuch!And MHOW is simply the anglicisation of Mahoo, the original name of the town...we can debate this endlessly on derailed if you like.
