| In a siding beside Yelehanka broad gauge station was 2ft-6in diesel railbus ZRD No.2 which handled the occasional passenger traffic. It can only be assumed that the pair of Class ES Pacifics were being repaired for little future purpose, but at least it was keeping the workers employed; 29.11.1979.
