Vulcan Foundry nomad

On the Mirpur Khas metre gauge network in Pakistan, oil-burning YD class 2-8-2 517 is seen on shed at Mirpur Khas on 18 November 1978.

 

517 was built by Vulcan Foundry in 1929 (wks #4400), originally for the Assam Bengal Railway., later the Eastern Bengal Railway. On partition it became part of the Pakistan Eastern Railway fleet, before being transferred to the Pakistan Western Railway in 1954 (at that time still known as the North Western Railway).
