With first the rejuvenation of the Rewari steam locomotive depot, then the return to operating condition of 8 locomotives, there is now news of main line steam excursions out of New Delhi (Cantt station) using those locomotives. Story here: http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/india060.htm |

I wonder if these are some of the same engines that were shown in that 1998 National Geographic video "The Great Indian Railways". http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_697236&v=7zf54Xb67bk&feature=iv&src_vid=eoPmVEXoAEc |

Some might be; certainly some would be members of the same classes seen then. I like some of the comments in the article, about how steam tourism, or heritage railway operations, were potentially an untapped source of economic stimulus, and possibly operating revenue. |
