[@phantom4285]

I really miss those days.. life was good then.. no pressure..no gadgets.. I would go to my grandparents house for holidays. The train station was closely.. I would walk to the station to look at the steam engine for hours..

[@nato6648]

Its going to Chittoor from Katpadi. I remember when I went for NCC camp near this track to a nearby village called Kasam. That was in 1989.

[@sankaranarayanan711]

Good old days! Golden days! The steam engine with steam and smoke coming out from all sides of the loco is fascinating!My thanks to the photographer.

[@ajoychatterjee7224]

I had seen all these types of steam engines since my childhood as I used to live near SEALDAH ST...KOLKATA.. in the early 60's I used to watch the electrification works from our rooftop... Still I'm obsessed ...how romantic our days were !!!!

[@mukeshverma007]

Fantastic..Hissing sound of the engine and whistles of the engine was just amazing...These was the days of my childhood..

[@shrilibran7416]

I remember frequently travelling on Steam powered passengers between Vellore Cantonement & Tirukoilur. It was slow and tiring but miss those days.

[@facetofacef2f582]

Remembered my child hood days and very good old days. Thanks uploader.

[@subburajarao]

I can FEEL the leisurely pace of life those days. No modern gadgets like now (2018) but life was so relaxed and food was unbelievably good even in small stations.

[@TheNachosvastav]

Yes life was relaxed. Reason why we are under developed

[@subburajarao]

This is a time machine journey :) I an re-live those wonderful days of a bygone era. Thanks.

[@wilfredalexandercoelho8003]

There used to be a Parsi Mail/Express Driver who used to work on the YC Engines Model Nos. 550 to 564 on the Hibli Miraj Section and he was the best driver and would run the trains at great speed and would always reach the stations before time. He handled these iorn Monsters very confidentally, His Name was Driver Surthi, who would always have on a long Khaki pant and khaki Short sleeves shirt and a black cap. Would love to know what happened to him and where was he last after his retirement?

[@RailFan92]

Legend of Indian Railways, Good to find heritage videos

[@ShishirDhruva]

Thanks for posting. The steam locomotives used in India in Y & W gauge were made in the USA by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia.

[@Debraj1978]

Very happy to see old katpadi and heritage steam loco....lot of similarity still exists

This footage is like a precious gem, nostalgic to see the Steam Loco. This train is heading towards Pakala from Katpadi. The MG alignment was a continuation from Villupuram, Vellore, Katpadi and upto Tirupati.

[@MrIqbalshaikh]

In rajkot division (WR) these YP s were given name like Rajdoot, Rajratna, Rajkamal, Rajtilak, Rajrath etc. Very impressive they were

[@vppandey4146]

Booked speed of Old Vaishali Express hauled by metre gauge YP steam loco was 68 kmph & maximum permissible speed 75 kmph. From KASGANJ to KAYAMGANJ 77 kilometres the running time of Vaishali Express was only 77 minutes!!!!!?!? . THRILLING SPEED। Those days in 1974 I was "" Engine Cleaner "" ...... आज सोचता हूं, कौन थे जो इन पर कोयला झोंकते थे, अकल्पनीय!!!!!!!

[@riyazmehdisyed8352]

[@nAarp]

Super super good welcome to tamilnadu

[@HughFromAlice]

Great to see this vid of a YP. Used to get rides on the footplate between Ajmer and Jaipur on the last steam (YP) hauled expresses. Nothing like charging down the main line at 80 (felt like 180!!!) on one of those engines. It used to feel like they waddled away from the stations but they were ok once they got up a bit of speed. They were generally keep really clean and in excellent mechanical condition... the footplate spotless and drivers often in immaculate white trousers!!! TU :-)

[@nAarp]

Super super good welcome to

[@Raju-zj5rq]

Thise were golden days. We used to travel by the steam engine drawn trains. It was a memorable experience. Britishers contributed richly for the laying many new lines.

[@beltek01]

The sight the sound the honk.. it's so nostalgic and so romantic

[@pawanbharadwaj7606]

Excellent quality video of big steam engine till after long thirteen years!

[@DH7409]

This was taken in Feb 94. There were two regular YP class powered trains into Katpadi from the north on the Southern Railway at the time. The line was in the process of being broad gauge at the time but completion was still a couple of years away.

[@nAarp]

Super super good welcome to tamilnadu

[@wilfredalexandercoelho8003]

Steam Era was the best and we enjoyed listening to the puffing and whistling of several types of Engines with different sounds. The journeys between Londa to Belgaum and vice versa used to be great with most of the Drivers as Anglo-Indians and one Famous parsi Driver Surthi who was the best.

[@Senthil03]

Nostalgic to see YP video after a long time..

[@jayakumarbr8489]

Very hard life of loco drivers in those days.At temp of 50degree,they were happily driving in from of boiler furnace. All our netas and govt staff should learn to do some works instead of taking comforts in AC chambers. Jay hind

[@ateeqrahman4043]

remembering old days is fine...but look at the other side....technology and development brought us cleanliness,safety to us and our family, as a kid I also remember my face getting black and my hair getting thick and laden with coal dust at the end of the journey.

[@subburajarao]

Trip down the memory lane,,,,gem from the past

[@rajeshnarayanaswamy5773]

I really miss steam engines....these are engineering marvel's...

I have been on this train from Katpadi to Tirupati in 1994.
