i wonder what class of steam locomotive they are. they seeem to be 2-8-2 mikados. if im wrong please reply. i really like this footage of indian locomotives. and a tank engine?

[@RailyardProductions]

I got this from wikipieda regarding the 2-8-2 locomotives.The Class WG was the main post-war broad gauge freight locomotive type of the Indian Railways (IR). The first order of 200 was split evenly between NBL and Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW). Apart from Indian manufacture, examples were also built in England, Scotland, Germany, Austria, the United States, Japan and Italy. By the time production ceased in 1970, 2,450 Class WG locomotives had been built.

I know steam ended in India around the end of the 90s but I'm curious how many locomotives survived the cutting torch and were preserved and I'm not referring to just one type of steam locomotive I'm talkin about the total number of locomotives in general

[@RailyardProductions]

I don't know but there are some Indian train Facebook pages. Post your question there and you may get an answer.

[@cyruslovesindia]

Steam ended almost at the end of 70,s to at best mid 80,s in India. What remained was very very few sporadic services. I say this because though officially the very last mainline steam locomotive scheduled train was in 1995 and metre gauge in 2000, steam train locomotives were almost non-existent in major cities and towns with very few services remaining in the remote branch lines of small villages. I never had a chance to sit in a proper steam locomotive train in India but have sat in steam trains plenty in the UK where steam locomotives are alive and kicking in plentiful. Unlike UK or USA almost all locomotives scrapped. I would probably say less than 10 broad gauge locomotives remain in India compared to hundreds in UK. Narrow gauge exist like the Darjeeling narrow gauge which luckily is a heritage steam locomotive.

[@vish3161]

A good place to see Steam locomotives still in working condition would be the Rewari Steam shed in Haryana which is around three hours from New Delhi . Around 14 locomotives are held in that shed and are used for excursion runs, period film shooting etc. In addition, you will find some steam locomotives in the various rail museums and also some plinthed locomotives at various stations all over India.

[@manormasingh6470]

Steam trains are actually useful and india should start the ones again YP is the fastest meter gauge steam locomotive. And how can we forgot about the WP it is the fastest broad gauge steam locomotive it is having a rock and rolling speed of 120km per hour. Btw, enjoyed your video from india🇮🇳
