Last of the Iron Horses
Can't remember seeing too many Western Railway of India WG 2-8-2s in passenger colours. WG 9122 (BLW 76061/55) was at Ratlam on 3 November 1978 and was an exception.
Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1955, I'm led to believe this was one of a batch of 50 that were the last steam locomotives of significance to be built in the USA. 100 WGs were built under delivered the Indo-USA Technical Co-operation MIssion Aid Programme, 25 of each also coming from Hitachi and North British as part of the Programme.
