Riding the Cab

These Indian Railways metre gauge engines are huge and are far larger than most British standard gauge steam engines.

Just in case you might be feeling a little jealous, truth to tell, I travelled only about 300 yards down the yard to the turntable, but it was a dream come true!

John, what a wonderful image and even for 300 yards, what a memory to keep. I’m a bit jealous even if for a short distance.

  I just wish there were opportunities like this still around but everywhere they’re so safety conscious now.

Looks like it’s from another era…and given its locale, I know that it is very much, in some ways…or many. Very nice, John.
