These are excerpts from National Geographic's "The Great Indian Railway"(1995), probably the best documentary ever on the Indian Railways. As a young boy, I used to travel to Grandma's place by the Howrah Mail from Madras. In 1989, on one such trip, My dad pointed out to a gigantic engine puffing smoke in the shed at Madras central as our train was leaving and said: "Manu, look, that's a steam engine". I forgot about steam engines later. In 1999(10 years later), I watched the National Geographic's special screening of this documentary on TV. I remembered my encounter with the puffing beasts in 1989. I couldn't stop crying by the end of this documentary. Starting in the early 80's the Steam engines of the Indian Railways have been slowly phased out of all the main lines in favor of Electric and Diesel locomotives due to economic pressures. By the turn of the 90's, it had become a rare sight to see a Steam-driven train. You can buy the DVD or VHS of this 115 minute documentary on nationalgeographic.com. It costs $15 including US local postage.

Watching this makes me so glad that I am volunteering for a non-profit organization in California that is restoring old trains which are steam, diesel, and old train cars. It makes me even more happy that I am helping the crew restore an old 1924 2-6-6-2 Mallet steam locomotive and bringing her back to life as well as perserving and maintaining two operating 2 little 2-6-2 Prairie steam tank engines. There is nothing more beautiful than the sight and sound of an old steam engine.

Personally to me, Steam Locomotive is the greatest invention by mankind. James Watt deserves all the reverence from all of us. This man made marvel that moved men & materials for so many decades finally had to take a dignified bow to usher in the technological advance. But the spirit of these engines that have fascinated me right from my childhood days will live with me till my last breath. I really can't bear to see this majestic engines being broken down. Though my ambition was to become a steam locomotive driver, it remained only as a dream till today. With tears of blood and a very heavy heart.....vaidyanathan

it was said that a steam engine is a happening by walt disney, and that among machines the steam engine is the most alive due to its temperment on differant days, it needs feed, it grones and creaks, and breaths as it works, in a word its alive, and they are not called live fired steam for nothing, and they work better the harder you work them it makes the fire burn better and make steam as well as dry the steam out in the super heater better as well, and less steam is needed so it can fully expand as limited cutoff valves are applied, and even in the states we lost far too many experamental and distinct locomotives that were steamers, the steam turbines were interesting machines used in steam and the old watertube boiler engines were experamented with but not one was saved, only 2 gas turbines of the several dozen build for the union pacific were saved and I dont even think they are able to run again even if the up wanted to put them in the heritage fleet. it makes me sad too, all the steamers and heavy metal history that was built by hand, and not computer lost to history, and often not even turned into good metal products, but rebar, razorblades, or sewerlids, not even parts for cars or dignified sheetmetal to make up a new industrial building. not to mention they had way more metal then a diesle which has more plastics in it and less weight. progress for the sake of progress is not always good when you loose your ancestry and memories as well as local identity with it.

My grandfather used to say kari vandi (coal engine) to address these engines. He worked in railways (service man) for 40 years and retired by 1994. All through the time I was with him I gained maximum knowledge about what makes India the largest rail network in the world. He died in 2012 untill then he was paid pension by the railways. Now though am not working for railways really happy and have unstatable bond with trains. Simply I love that feeling of travelling in a train, comparatively our trains are slow, dumb and old but they strongly translate a emotion into me.

Dad used to say as a boy he loved hanging out the window and letting the smoke a cinder blow at him. At 12 yrs of age he started to work at 25¢ a day. Alot of money back then. I can understand the attachment to the earlier years. I could see it in my Dads face. Isaiah 11:9

The erstwhile steam loco drivers must have suffered a lot due to the smoke and oppressive heat of the firebox. Today’s diesel &electric loco pilots appear neat in their uniform and the better conditions in the locomotives.My salutations to all the loco running-staff for their valuable service to Indian Rlys.

Kharagpur was my hometown it had a loco shed of more than a hundred steam engines of all categories with the WP locomotive as its pride, Kharagpur also had the the longest railway platform in the world and was a junction servicing the Madras, Bombay and Delhi lines. my father was steam driver and I followed his progress from a fireman to a mail driver (express trains) I spent a lot of time during school holidays with him on his many trips I knew nearly every part of the loco. I wanted to join up when I left school but changed my mind due to the introduction of desiel loco's. Those steam railway men were a tough breedand weather beaten, .may god bless their souls. I felt a loss since I left India.

I remember when with my grandfather I went to the station and saw the last locomotives in use pass, still today I have my collection of steam models in my room and that I look at right now, certain that that mechanical system has stolen my heart. In Italy locomotives have in fact disappeared around the mid-70s, replaced by electric locomotives today exist only for tourist events. I understand that this is also the case in India.

Steam preservation is replete with many success stories, and more and more trusty veterans are being brought back to life around the world every year. And for those of us who don't have really deep pockets, there is always the prospect of owning a live steamer, which is practically the same experience in miniature (I own a G-Scale 0-4-0T, which I love with a passion). As I like to say, diesils come and go, but the steamers go on forever!

Just because something is old, doesn't mean that you just throw it away. There are steamers that are over 100 years old that still run just fine. Although I've never been to India, I have heard of its railways, and I feel so sorry for these men. I'm from a railroading family myself, and I can't imagine what it feels like to lose these engines to the vultures that are the scrap-men....

Very True whatever is being said by this Gentleman who seems to be very sad and disappointed about the Steam Locomotives that were a Great Pride of the Indian Railways. Surely one can understand the feelings expressed by this man who has taken these Steam Engines to be a part and parcel of his own family members. Sad all these Locomotives have been done away as Scrap.The best part is that duing my younger days I used to travel frequently between Londa to Belgaum on the Hubli Miraj division and the Steam Engines were the YC model type styarting from YC 550 to YC 564. And Most of these Mail and Expess trains used to be Anglo-Indian Drivers based at Hubli who were, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Bentley, Mr, Chateliar, Mr. Wrenzle, Mr. Woods and above all one well known and most famous and fastest train driver a Parsi by name Mr. Surthi. He used to play havoc with these Engines and would take the trains at great speed at times very scary.

Steam Engine was the true hero, of the centuries, carried mass people from time to time, carried history after history, independence, the scent of all great patriotic people of India.. , who fought for our country.. the nobleman for which we feel proud of our history. Thats what was carried by steam engine from time. The new era of iphone etc.. are nothing it just made us smaller in mind and spirit.

Psyche1954 I get your point. Even I also hope for change, and changing to newer and better technology. It is good that we have faster trains now all over the world, which doesn't ejaculates harmful gases, and moves faster. But again there is something called the quality of joy, and a symbol of the past. I am not telling to bring back steam trains, but we can still keep atleast one train in major train routes, as a symbol of the past. I would not have said so much, if there were some existent of it. We only say such, if something is completely wiped out with the passage of time. Definitely if electric trains in our country gets replaced with maglev train, I wouldn't really feel that much to bring it back, anyways electric train is not the origin of train. If we look how George Stephenson invented trains, it is steam as well, so that carries the symbol, not trains of now, not any trains in future as well. Technology will come and go, and a newer technology will make the new technology older next day, but symbol of origin never fades away. There are lot of train lovers, who will actually enjoy the ride in their leisure time, as a walk down the memory lane. If we really about ejaculation harmful gases, then we need to say that, so many cars we are buying every day, vehicles, ejaculations from industries are causing harm to the atmosphere, a lot more than steam engines itself. In any ways nothing we can stop completely all we could do is minimize. In other words, if we think in that angle Industrialization caused those problems, however there came more pros than cons.

@steamboy51 True, although it is possible, given enough money and time, to build exacting replicas of the originals, such as the A1-Class Peppercorn "Tornado" in England, which was built for the simple fact that nobody thought to preserve any of the originals. True, we do lose many a good engine to scrap, but many more are preserved, many in working order.

Those days.. there was a close attachment between a human and a machine also.. that is ancient India. But now.. humans are turned like machines, commercialised, materialised..with no emotions.. Intead, machines are turning like humans (machine learning +Artificial intelligence)
