Elephants pulling Steam Locomotive.

Arrival of the first locomotive at Indore, Central Indian Railway.

The Metre Gauge locomotive is travelling over Broad Gauge tracks - hence the elephants pulling a steam engine..

 

India has four different gauges: the 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge, the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge, and two narrow gauges 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) and 2 ft (610 mm).
