    WP 7161 is a Chittranjan Locomotive Works built engine, inducted into active service in 1965, this locomotive was homed at Saharanpur shed and gave distinguished service to IR before being phased out from active service. This Locomotive is christened "AKBAR", after the great Mughal Emperor.
    Both these Locomotives are a priced possession of Rewari Steam Loco shed, with great historic significance and deserve their rightful place in the rich heritage of Indian Railways. Let's celebrate the return of these two glorious Steam Engines and see these magnificent machines in steam once again.

      @@victoriousrufus6747 They are Pacific class 4-6-2, some were made in 3/4 scale. But the designs were Canadian (Canadian Locomotive Works) and American (Baldwin Locomotive Works). In fact bullet nosed broad guage steam locos were known as Canadian engines back in the day when they worked the main lines in India.

    There is a certain peace, that could only be found while riding on a train in India, in the '60's, when steam was still King !

      Yes it was. We stopped all the time to fill water and coal for the steam engine and thats when the tea boys came along with chai and snacks.
      All along the journey, there were boys hanging on to the window railings outside the trains selling snacks.

      Normal price from Madras to Delhi was 50 rupees on airconditioned third class. Just enough seats for everybody and food was served. We paid for the food and orders were taken a few stations before.
      I had a false student card and I got 50% off which made the trip only 25 rupees.
      he Indian cities those day looked like a huge village but strangely there was a system in the chaos.

      Pollution depends on the state of fire box... If the train is pulling hard and the conductor is filling fire box with coal ... The smoke will be much darker and contain lots of soot.

    Really steam locomotives sound and moving is a special. Particularly those driver and firemen working so vary talent and hard work men ship. Those parson are all healthy. Till now some old senior citizen. Even some rail way officers also vary like. When I joined in the railway I worked only one year at Mysore. That also vary nice place. After I went Diesel loco motive. The smell of char coal is vary fine. Just like toady agar bathi. So great of steam loco motives.

    The last WP ie P stands for passenger was transferred to N.Rly in the year 1988.It went as a light engine. There was a Round house of Steel Horses at Bitragunda of SCRly. We salute the Angilo Indian Drivers. They cared the engine as their mother. The brass metal parts were shining like gold. Understand the heat waves and too chill cold filled with mist which blocked the vision. On a personal talk they said around 750 passengers life is most important. WG engine meansGoods hauling. In royapuram division Arakkonam was having a big loco shed. Remember the watering coal down loading.
