India Steam Locomotives Vintage Film 

I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Yes they are!

Sadly the photographer has passed on and I do not know who he was, but as you say we are very grateful for his passion for history.

@@RailyardProductions RIP photo grapher friend your contributions will be cherished forever by steam locomotive enthusiasts

Yes they are!

Was that because of the fine coal dust they were inhaling?

No health hazard at all, thousands of drivers, firemen lived long lives. In fact, they loved their engines.

This is 8mm film which didn't have sound. Its vintage film shot by a railfan.

Glad you enjoyed it

मुझे खुशी है कि आपने फिल्म का आनंद लिया।

Yup

Thank you

Thanks for commenting, glad you liked it.

Awesome, maybe he is in the movie?

Cool, Glad you like it.

Do you recognize the locations?

@@RailyardProductions no

@@RailyardProductions can you tell me the location

I'm sorry, I don't know the location.

Yup, that was the end to steam.

I think so too!

Your welcome. Thanks for viewing.

मुझे खुशी हुई की वह तुम्हें पसंद है।

Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@RailyardProductions Not just enjoyed, soaked in all the steam! None of the modern High speed/high tech locos will give us this pleasure of steam locos.

This is true.

I'm glad you like it.

Thanks, I get new films all the time so stay tuned.

Thanks

Awesome, I hope to get to India some day.

@@RailyardProductions Most welcome

Yeah , the railbridge in khana jn perhaps, but, the video shows that the rail bridge has been electrified ( as the electrified goods train pases) but, the whole route was electrified 2-3 years ago

It's not Khana Jn. Probably it's Bally and the Railway Bridge comes from Dankuni and goes upto Sealdah via Dakshineswar and Dum Dum Jn.

@@comradebrother7411 That's why i mentioned the particular time, not telling about the entire video.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you very much!

Glad you like it.

In reality, Diesels outperform Steam. But I like steam better.

So nice to see the clean tracks like I remember when I was in India . Cheers from Australia ,

Cheers.

Thank you.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes, I think others have said so as well.

Ha eta Andal e

Thanks for the visit

I don't have any information about the locations.

You might show this video to some older people in/from India, they may know the location.

I think that this is in England

I'm happy you enjoyed the film.

I am frm adra. From which area you belongs to?

@@sayanpanja USA

@@sayanpanja I'm from the UK,I'm Anglo Indian we left India in 1952 India will always be part of me. Take care

I like riding in the cab.

खैर, पिछले दो वर्षों में भारतीयों द्वारा इस वीडियो को 15 बार चुराया गया, मुझे यूट्यूबर्स के खिलाफ कॉपीराइट का दावा करना पड़ा और उन्हें कॉपीराइट स्ट्राइक मिली। यह नोटिस इसलिए लगाया गया क्योंकि मैं हड़ताल हटाने के लिए मुझसे मिन्नतें करते-करते थक गया था। मज़ेदार बात यह है कि मेरे पास से कोई भी वीडियो चोरी नहीं हुआ है। khair, pichhale do varshon mein bhaarateeyon dvaara is veediyo ko 15 baar churaaya gaya, mujhe yootyoobars ke khilaaph kopeerait ka daava karana pada aur unhen kopeerait straik milee. yah notis isalie lagaaya gaya kyonki main hadataal hataane ke lie mujhase minnaten karate-karate thak gaya tha. mazedaar baat yah hai ki mere paas se koee bhee veediyo choree nahin hua hai.

LOL.

I don't know but there are some Indian train Facebook pages. Post your question there and you may get an answer.

Steam ended almost at the end of 70,s to at best mid 80,s in India. What remained was very very few sporadic services. I say this because though officially the very last mainline steam locomotive scheduled train was in 1995 and metre gauge in 2000, steam train locomotives were almost non-existent in major cities and towns with very few services remaining in the remote branch lines of small villages. I never had a chance to sit in a proper steam locomotive train in India but have sat in steam trains plenty in the UK where steam locomotives are alive and kicking in plentiful. Unlike UK or USA almost all locomotives scrapped. I would probably say less than 10 broad gauge locomotives remain in India compared to hundreds in UK. Narrow gauge exist like the Darjeeling narrow gauge which luckily is a heritage steam locomotive.

A good place to see Steam locomotives still in working condition would be the Rewari Steam shed in Haryana which is around three hours from New Delhi . Around 14 locomotives are held in that shed and are used for excursion runs, period film shooting etc. In addition, you will find some steam locomotives in the various rail museums and also some plinthed locomotives at various stations all over India.

What website are you looking for? Railyard Productions is my company. This is my video. I don't sell them I post them here on my RU-vid channel. I make money off the Google ads.

Ah! Google took me to some website link with a similar name which was defunct. Thanks for the clarification...

@@souroshankhamaji222 Yes, the website was too expensive to maintain.

Yes, somewhere in the comments someone told the location.

Yes maybe bcoz men are using bell bottoms

Thanks

There was a time in the world where Electric and Diesel were replacing steam so you could see all of them together. This footage was shot in India, no idea Year or Location.

@@RailyardProductions location is in Andal...I'm from here

@@9126057817 Thanks for the information. I knew eventually someone would tell me.

I got this from wikipieda regarding the 2-8-2 locomotives.The Class WG was the main post-war broad gauge freight locomotive type of the Indian Railways (IR). The first order of 200 was split evenly between NBL and Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW). Apart from Indian manufacture, examples were also built in England, Scotland, Germany, Austria, the United States, Japan and Italy. By the time production ceased in 1970, 2,450 Class WG locomotives had been built.

मैं खुश हूँ कि आपको यह पसंद है। टिप्पणी करने के लिए धन्यवाद.

Hopefully some are in museums in India.

I don’t know the location.

Yes, probably Asansol and Howrah, I could see Delux train hauled by electric engine- the fastest train of India in that era

Thanks for commenting, India had a lot of steam locomotives right up into the 80s I think.

@@RailyardProductions Thanks a lot for sharing this, I am from India. Is it the Andal Steam Shed of Eastern Railways division of India? Can you tell the year? If you have any footage of the Asansol steam shed, jhajha steam shed, Dhanbad steam shed please share.

I'm sorry, I don't have any more films of Indian steam. I don't know the location, I'm hoping someone from India will eventually identify the location. Thanks for commenting.

@@RailyardProductions 23.585187,87.176549 ...this is the real location from Google map

1970s I think. I don't have a lot of info on it.

WGs ??

I have no idea. There was no information with the film. I have lots of Indians visiting the channel so just watch the comments. Maybe someone will know.

23.585187,87.176549. This is the actual location

@@RailyardProductions where you get this video..Do u know who filmed this and why???

@@9126057817 A man from USA who likes trains, he died and someone purchased the film at an estate sale.

@@RailyardProductions thank u

What?

@@RailyardProductions you Said this is a clip of a film

I’ll check and see, I think this was the full film.

It’s three minutes long so that is the full film.

@@RailyardProductions from where you got this clip?

Thanks

I looks like it may be.

I'll look it up.

8mm film. No sound.

No, Sorry.

I don't know, there was no information with the film.

Khana Jn and Andal Jn main line Howrah division..Sheds may be from Andal, Howrah, Bardhaman or Rampurhat. Eastern Railways Howrah division

Maybe DumDum, or a couple other places have been mentioned in the comments. I'm hoping some old railroad worker will see it and say he worked the line.

I don't know, sorry.

Early 80s I think.

End completed in broad gage section around 1992-93.

I don't know the year. I own the film but the photographer is unknown.

Check the comments, people have mentioned the locations.

Read the comments, people have stated where some of the filming was taken!

Thanks for the information.

This film was taken by a home movie camera, they didn't have sound.

95,000 views. Wouldn't call it "Useless"

@@RailyardProductions because no sound. Sound exactly need for video.

@@nandarajaarul9884 You don't have to watch it, scroll past. 95 thousand people have watched the video, only two complaints about sound.

@@nandarajaarul9884 You don't need to watch it!

Thank You.

Thanks
