this video is of which year

@@swetasah8475 ji probably This video was filmed in 1991:or 92 just before the steam locomotives were replaced with Diesel locomotives from India. This video is taken from Janakpur section of Nepal.

@@swetasah8475 As Rob's title implies, it was filmed in 1993, actually in late March of that year. The diesels came in just a few months later.

​@@swetasah8475 hnji baby where do you live

And why do you 'love' Nepal? They don't care a s**t for India.

Lucky you, to have travelled this line. It's sad to see the demise of this beautiful old steam system but great news that there is now a working wide gauge rail system to replace it from Jaynagar all the way to Kurtha. Maybe next year when I plan return to Nepal I will travel by rail from the border up to Kurtha. There are further plans to extend this track from far East to far West Nepal with a branch line up to Kathmandu - and then another line from KTM to Tibet/China. This will be so good to help the current overcrowded and often jammed road transport system in Nepal. But I may be an old man before all that is finished, as I'm already over 70. 🙂 You may be interested in this beautiful, but sad video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9ScgZOQrrfagnU.html 🙏

Chances are that your locos would have been this D14 2-8-2T - www.internationalsteam.co.uk/incredibleindonesia/javajakarta14.htm

@@internationalsteam yes, it was the black loco. Thx 4 ur sharing,👍

Thanks very much for your comments. The West Java scene was always fascinating and I loved the vintage electrics at Bogor, as well as the steam action at Bandung. It's a shame that not too many railfans visited the lines west of Jakarta.

So glad you enjoyed this. There is still a rail connection between Jaynagar and Janakpur, but it is now a broad-gauge connection, thanks to a very welcome initiative by India. You will find many excellent videos of the line as it now is on KZfaq. A few months after my visit in 1993, second-hand 2'6" diesels were made available by India to replace the ageing steam fleet and the line ran in this mode for a number of years before closure and commencement of the broad-gauge upgrade. Again, if you will find videos on KZfaq of this interim period of operation.

Kya din the sir apke

I wish also .

Something to cheer you up in not very good times!

Despite the dust and all that it transports us to the bygone days and we cherish the memory's.

get a toilet in india

And also request the Nepali government (perhaps with help from Indian government) to restore the old engines and buildings in this video. I think it would be such a tourist attraction to have this as a museum for international steam train enthusiast 🙂. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9ScgZOQrrfagnU.html

Thanks for your kind comments. Very happy to make this available to them if they want it.

Yes, I had a laugh at that - also the people on their bicycles riding along the track and getting off just before the train came and then, some boars running right in front of the train !! It was probably a Nepalese coin the kids laid on the track - when I was a kid some of my friends would do this, for the fun of showing the other kids at school the next day a flattened penny 🙂

Terima kasih banyak atas komentar Anda. Ya, agak seperti Indonesia di tahun 70-an dan awal 80-an. Saya pertama kali berkunjung ke Indonesia pada tahun 1975. Alangkah senangnya ketika solar di KA Yogya gagal di Kertosono dan D52014 mengambil alih. Pantau terus channel Rob dan juga International Steam Pages-nya, karena kami akan segera mengupload lebih banyak materi vintage Indonesia.

@@rosssadler3199 Saya sangat menunggu yang vintage dari Indonesia. Banyak mengembalikan kenangan indah saya di masa itu. Jaman di mana masih bebas untuk keluar masuk lingkungan stasiun atau bahkan ikut naik ke lokomotif atau rangkaian kereta barang. Terima kasih. 🙏🙏😊😊

@@rosssadler3199 СССР был 1970 электровоз круто было,

I can't answer for certain. My understanding is that all the steam locos were stored at the former workshops at Khajuri when the line was closed for regauging but I don't know what has happened since.

@@internationalsteam We had a similar Tank Engines plying from Kolkata to Suburbs during 50's. Kalighat- Falta Railway (KFR)

@@goju050207 Indeed, for pictures of these railways in the 1970s onwards pleas see www.internationalsteam.co.uk/raj/india02/indiaenger000.htm

I have a vague memory of hearing they were trying to sell the engines off a few years ago and a price tag of $80,000 (probably US) coms to mind. The problem would have been getting them out, which is probably what put off Puffing Billy and other 2'6" gauge outfits. Personally, I'd have loved to see the Ducroo and Brauns 0-10-0T saved. I would suspect that the works and the stored engines would have been annihilated with the broad gauge conversion.

@@internationalsteam , thanks for sharing however KFR does not feature here. It is on the eastern bank of Hoogly river.

While much of that film was shot in India, the rail sequences were actually shot in Granada, Spain!!!

@@internationalsteam Makes sense. I should have Googled but thanks for the heads up...

@@donquixote2553 HAHAHAHA.

Of course it was, back in the early 1990s!

.

Did you not read this "Enjoy Ross Sadler's historic views filmed at Janakpur just before the line was dieselised in 1993."???

It was actually late March in 1993 as Rob's caption says

1993,1993,1993,Tul ppp,hahaha.

The video is from 1993

india still toiletless

The line has been converted to broad gauge and there are many good videos of the modern line available on KZfaq. For the record, this video was taken in late March 1993 and steam was replaced by second-hand diesels from India a few months later. At least one steam engine was still available for charter some years after.

@@rosssadler3199 thanks for your reply have Happy and successful 2023
