Indian Railways in the steam age: loco sheds Saharanpur and Moradabad

It brings my childhood memory. We used to travel by howrah madras. Mail from kharagpur. Upto 1967 we travelled by steam locomotive only 12 coaches used to be there 3 types class. 1 2 and 3rd class First time rly introduced 17 coaches. With diesel engine Though we had so. Much dust and our eyes used to. Have coal dust whenever we peep through windows still it was golden days because of less population travel was very comfortable

Mashaal, akbar jaise steam engines ko dekh ke dar lag jata tha. Aaj bhi 1994 ka wo din yaad hain jab rudki ke paas maine masoori express ko mashaal jaise engine se pull karte huain dekha tha. Main nangaldam passenger se jab Punjab jaata tha to jaise hee train station par aati to toofan sa aa jata tha. Steam hee steam ho jaati sab jagah. Kaya din they wo. Aaj Nangaldam passenger Himachal express hain. Jab naya naya Diesel engine lagna shuru hua to bada khush hua ki ab hum jaldi pohancha karenge. Time tab bhi 8 ghante lagte they or aaj bhi almost utna he time lagta hain. But steam engine ko dekhte hee ab bachpan yaad aa jata hain. What a time it was.

Film cameras have way better quality than even some of the modern digital ones . Many of the old moves that has survived in negative films can be transformed to 4k or even 8k video with proper work. Although it will take like a month to transform a 2hr film to 8k film.

[@CyrusInIndia]

This video footage itself is very old from 1994-1995. Steam locomotive trains no longer remain in India except the rare heritage and tourists trains! Steam locomotives were in decline from late 70,s itself in India. Major cities had shunned steam by then. Only small towns and branch lines operated them. Steam broad gauge main line officially ended in 1995 in India but it was more of the few sporadic services which were remaining. Metre Gauge Steam I believe ended in the year 2000.

[@CyrusInIndia]

@@sumitparchani5612 footage could be older too. As by 1994 - 99% of steam locomotive mainline trains in India were gone.

[@satyavega]

This must be 70's......definitely not 90's.

[@CyrusInIndia]

@@satyavega possible as by 80,s itself there were no steam locomotive trains in major cities of India except the very few sporadic services remaining for the branch lines of towns and villages and few metre gauge services. Mainline steam trains majorly declined from the 70,s onwards as diesel and electric locomotives took over.

[@PrashanthSadashivan]

The decline of steam on started in the early 70s as the last steam locomotive was manufactured in India in 1972; only diesel or electric thereafter.

Steam locomotives were the most open locomotives. Only boiler was hidden other than that one could see piston, steam, big wheels, hear the magic sound in the silence of night or day and people would know a train is passing by. In short they were magnets attracting people.

Wait in 1994 india still uses steam power ?! *AWESOME*

[@CyrusInIndia]

By 1980 or so most of the steam train locomotives were stopped in India but few services remained. Officially speaking all scheduled steam locomotive trains of broad gauge ended in 1995 and metre gauge in 2000 in India Now only the heritage and few tourist steam locomotive trains remain in India. In UK Germany USA though steam locomotive trains remain in plentiful. Even in Russia and China has a lot of industrial steam locomotive trains working in the mine quarries. UK has even mainline steam locomotive trains plying almost daily somewhere in their country.

[@CyrusInIndia]

@@indrajitprayogo14 thanks. I've never sat in a steam locomotive train in India but have travelled in steam locomotive trains quite a bit in UK when I was there. It's just a different feeling altogether, and If you see their locomotives you'd probably think they're brand new, that's how well maintained they are.

Can you please tell me how many coaches could a broad gauge steam locomotive pull? I have travelled many times during my younger days but don't recollect paying attention to such details.

[@fernbahn5678]

In the last days of steam the locos hauled 5 to 10 coaches. In older times when the engines were in better shape they moved up to 20 coaches over lines with no sever gradients. Similar to modern times, albeit much slower.

[@neerajjain9088]

Broad gauge locomotives can pull upto 1200 tonnes of weight .In old days broad gauge coaches weigh 48 tonnes each. Whereas, metre gauge locomotives can pull 700 tonnes of weight , MG coaches are maximum 36 tonnes in weight. I hope you get answer
