  • Charter steam trains in Pakistan: three HG/S class locomotives haul freight and passenger trains on the triangle Rawalpindi - Attock - Basal, crossing a.o. the famous Attock Khurd fortified bridge over the mighty Indus river. This video was recorded in HDR format, and is best viewed on a HDR compatible device, if not the case, color distortion will be observed.

    Excellent capture. In India we don't have 2-8-0 specification, furnace oil powered steam locos. Good old British heritage locos still working in Pakistan. Hats off to crew and locoshed personnels. In India we have 2-8-2 and 4-6-2 WP and WG, also YP and YG of same specifications working till 1994 and 1997 on trunk routes. The WP and WG ( Make Baldwin USA, Canadian, Polish, Czech , German ) generates massive power of 2600 HP and can haul 1200 MT of load at 120 kmph. whereas WDM generates only 2200HP.

      PR has kept 2227 serviceable for a long time for photo safaris. Unfortunately its boiler was refused a certificate renewal. It is currently Lahore awaiting a possible repair. Fortunately another 3 HG/S hab been kept in reasonable condition and could be brought back to service in a short period of time. At the same time, passenger coaches were repainted in steam era livery and remodified for vacuum breaking such that regular steam revivals can be expected the near future. Let's hope for the best.

    Me too: thank you for sharing, Claude! :-)
    I pity those firemen: apparently they're not taught how to maintain a good fire. (For that, look for the LMS instruction film "Little and often" here on UA-cam.) Leaving a tunnel with black smoke amounts to having survived a suicide attempt. And when you see the safety valve blowing, the driver hasn't bothered to tell the fireman that power won't be needed in the next few minutes. :-(
    EDIT: I hadn't paid much attention to the tenders to see if the carry coal or oil. I started over at that turntable, but I'm not sure yet. Obviously, there's no shoveling oil...
    Such black smoke could come from oil, but I put my bet on a fire choked by too much coal.

    BRITISH Engineering at its best...Motive Power, Rolling Stock, Bridges and other Infrastructure, and the unrestricted 5'6" gauge...although Metre Gauge ( 3'3.375") was used for secondary and mountainous ( NW Frontier, Assam and Burma) lines. A lot of lowland Metre lines are being Regauged to 5'6" as traffic volume ( and population) has surpassed the 1 Billion mark.
    A proper scale to gauge model of various India ( & Pakistan) railways is sorely needed...1:87 scale with 19mm model track gauge ....a sort of HO-broad.
