Seen during a visit to Railtown 1897 in Jamestown California on 11-20-2015. I believe this is the shop switcher.
In spite of the devastatingly rapid urban sprawl motivated by Utah Valley's 21st century tech boom, there is about a half mile of track between Provo and Springville where if you face the right direction and squint hard enough it still looks rural, a microcosmic remnant of the open land filled in with ugly mcmansions and precast warehouses in the last decade. The Roper to Helper manifest inches down the mainline keeping a wary eye out for switching moves made on the Ironton industrial lead. 13 September 2023.
With the snow-capped Cader Idris overlooking the scene, 97303 and 97304 “John Tiley” cross Bont-y-Bermo (Barmouth bridge) on the 6C70 07:58 Crewe Basford Hall to Harlech ballast train for track renewal work near Tŷ Gwyn.
Running 127 minutes late at this point, 97303 TnT with 97304 “John Tiley” pass Glandyfi on the 08:04 1Q05 Derby RTC to Machynlleth via Aberystwyth. It ran so late because of yet another central ERTMS failure. Naturally enough, it was nice and sunny at this location until roughly half an hour before it passed. This photo also clearly shows the view now that the road here has been improved and widened.

The afternoon Service Towards Lucknow Aishbagh Arrives With IZN YDM4 6528 from Tikunia ( Train Name - Tikunia - Aishbagh Passenger )
I was to board the same train towards Lucknow and somehow captured it since I knew it had a stop of 5 minutes at the station so , Hence I got enough time for the click.
YDM4 Class is one of the threatened species of Indian Railways since only a few Meter-Gauge Railway Lines remain in India , A country which Once used to have one of the world's largest Meter Gauge Networks under British Empire and the meter gauge network that used to exist from North to South and East To West Of India is now depleted and left to a few places which will soon close down and the process of Gauge Conversion to Broad Gauge will take over.
Some Info On The YDM4 Locomotive :-
Co-Co diesel electrics originally from Alco (1961-1964), later manufactured by DLW (1968-1993). The initial batch of 55 from Alco were used for evaluation and comparison with a similar batch of General Motors locos. The Alcos were chosen as the preferred MG main-line diesel locos. Alco model is DL535A. Originally manufactured with only vacuum brakes and dynamic braking, no air brakes. Rated at 1350/1200hp. Max. speed 100km/h. YDM-4A are identical to YDM-4, except that they were supplied by MLW (1964) -- the Canadian batch consisting of about 99 locos. Some of the MLW locos do not have the 'A' suffix in the class designation.
Ahmedabad was the main centre for these locos. A few were hauling local trains in the Secunderabad-Bodhan section in 1997, and are reported [8/00] to be working around Mysore, Villupuram, etc. Some from the Guntakal shed are still [7/02] hauling trains on the Pakala-Guntakal-Bellary route. Some are thought to be at Gandhidham after gauge conversion left Gandhidham - Palanpur an isolated MG line.
DLW has exported some (15 each) of these to Tanzania and Vietnam (1976-1985), and to Bangladesh (2000?). The ones for Bangladesh were classed YDM-4BR and had dual cabs, a change achieved without modifying the length of the loco. This variant turned out later to have major cooling problems.
Malaysian railways (KTM) acquired 39 used YDM-4's from IR in 1996. It is not clear if they were leased or sold. Of these, 14 were returned to India by 1999. In Malaysia they retained their IR road numbers (between 6352 and 6725).
