The Heritage Run

[EMDSD14R]

thts awsome...its great to see tht some of these beautiful engines have been saved and are running... what class of steam engine is this?..i like the streamline look of it..these engines remind me of the Class J 4-8-4 northern tht the N&W use to run here in the US...only one class J-1 remains # 611 hopefully in the next few years she and the 1218 a class A 2-6-6-2 will be double heading excurstion trains again..great vid!!

@EMDSD14R : dear Sir, This is the WP class of steam locomotives, with its characteristic bullet nose. this one bears the railroad number 7200 and only 10 of these were manufactured by the CLW. A wonderful piece of engineering.

@dlchoudhary oh WP Class very nice and only 10 were built...thts rare..in the US we have a few locomotives tht were limited productions..one particular engine tht ran on the West Coast for the SP railroad is a GS4 Class 4-8-4..also know as the Daylight..GS stands for Golden State..only one reminds of this class the 4449...and runs in excurstion service...so since this WP class has the # 7200 does this make it the first in tht class?..indeed its a wonderful steam enigine..i like the way it looks

You are also requested to watch my submission of an Heritage Train "Ruby Steam Train" run between Kachiguda & Bolarum of South Central Railway - in this YouTube only.

okay, it's official. Indian steam trains have the most elaborate paint jobs - and the highest pitched whistles. Great video of a great locomotive!

[WhyAyeMann]

Do they still do black beauty contests?

[TheWidowsSonTemplar]

Great to see Indian steam running! Would like to see more video like this. Hopefully they keep this traditional locomotive going for a long time to come.

@3:38 they are still painting it as it's being steamed up!
