Thanks for the video that is great, just wondering, what is the Rewari place, is it a heritage program like the UP steam fleet or a museum. The entry video has to be one of the most passionate heart felt narrations on a steam locomotive I have ever heard! It makes me wonder what steam preservation is like in India.

Did you notice the locos in this clip are all Baldwin products from the 1940's
