An outcome of the author’s extensive rail fanning sessions over a period of sixteen years, this labour of love is a “must-own” book for Rail Enthusiasts worldwide. The first-ever complete photographic documentation of surviving steam locomotives in India, this book covers 303 Indian steam survivors at 120 locations. While most of these locomotives are either displayed on plinths outside railway stations and railway offices or preserved in the many museums that the Indian Railways have set up, 42 of these locomotives are still in working condition. Adding value are two essays by the author, covering the history and development of Indian steam locomotives, including the current status of restoration and revival. Deservedly, the steam loco shed at Rewari and the UNESCO World heritage hill railways of India are covered in detail separately. Also, discover the welcome advent of private rail museums in India.
