And here are some more fascinating pictures of the National Rail Museum, New Delhi, from Abhimanyu Shaunik's collection. Note the Hand Operated Crane which appears in the fourth picture.
This website sets out to capture the flavour of the Railways of the Raj, that giant colossus set up and equipped by the British and founded on the power of steam. We take a look at impressions, reminiscences and memoirs, pictures, extracts from diaries, even that odd letter Aunt Jane wrote telling how she was stranded at Bombay Victoria Terminus station back in the twenties... So have a great time folks, and should you wish to send in your feedback, write to Ravindra Bhalerao at : railwayschool AT rediffmail DOT com
