Dear Anil, I have no idea. Island express derailed in 1987 and this is defenitely not this train. The loco number is 16669, made sometimes in middle of 1990's. Shall get back to you soon if I can find a clue...

Major accidents in Kerala involving a train slipping of the bridge: 1. Island Exp fell into the Perumon bridge. Cause - Unknown (some say a freak tornado) 2. Mangalore mail slipping off the Kadalundi bridge. Cause - the bridge was more than 100 years old. This photo decipts none of these. Anil, can you give me the date of the accident??

16669 is now with KJM. Don't know where it was at the time of this incident. Probably ED. But is this loco really off the track? Or has it brought in the steam crane?
