Basking in the evening sunshine, local pilot at the Southern Railway's MG Birur engine shed was 2-8-2 YD 30241 (Ajmer 1932); 28.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
The Southern Railway MG station at Bidadi, where 2-8-2 YG 4205 (Telco 320/1958) pauses with T1064, a Bangalore - Mysore passenger service; 29.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
In India, cows are regarded as sacrosanct, but even they must make way for Indian Railways; traffic! At Birur, MG 2-8-2 YG 3067 (BLW 74541 1949) has taken on water and now waits for the semaphore signal to drop and allow it to proceed on its journey north - meanwhile, local road traffic looks on; 28.11.1979.

MG 2-8-2 YG 3067 (BLW 74541/1949) with a north-bound freight, stops for water at Birur. Note the crew of three on the locomotive plus spare crew members watching from the coach behind the YG; the Mikado obviously has a task that will be long in terms of distance and/or time. The engine comes from the first 120 Class YG delivered of an eventual 1441 machines, from eight builders. The type placed much reliance upon American steam locomotive practice, as opposed to previous British designs, in particular, the use of bar, as against plate, frames; 28.11.1979.

Turning around for the stautory "going away" photograph of Pacific YP 2646 (Telco 911/1965), hauling the T298 Birur - Sagar passenger, the sky is a little lighter as the train heads towards the setting sun; 28.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
In the gathering darkness, Southern Railway T298, leaves Birur for Sagar behind 4-6-2 YP 2646 (Telco 911/1965). Fortuitously the two signal gantries frame the Pacific's energetic smoke effects - the smoke by request, of course! 28.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
At the Southern Railway's MG Birur engine shed, 4-6-2 YP 2646 (Telco 911/1965) carries a headboard which makes it very clear what is to be its next duty; 28.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
The Southern Railway MG engine shed at Birur was a basic, lightly-built, one-road, one-engine length structure, but to judge by the stone-built water tankhouse, the original shed building had been of the same construction; 28.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
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. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
Southern Railway NG (2ft-6in) 4-6-2 ES 507 (Kerr Stuart 4358/1926) under repair at Bangalore Yelahanka, on the nearly-100 mile line to Bangarapet; 29.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
Southern Railway NG (2ft-6in) 4-6-2 ES 508 (KS 4359/1926) was also under much heavier repair than her sister, half-covered by the stone-built engine shed. The track in the forground looks lightly used and the tour group was told there was little traffic to Bangarapet where the third Class ES, No.506, was to be found; 29.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
Southern Railway BG 2-8-2 XD 22389 (VF 4358 1929) waits for access to the turntable at Bangalore Cantonment engine shed; 29.11.1979. Roger Griffiths roger.griffiths@hotmail.com |
