Indian Railways in the steam age: loco sheds Saharanpur and Moradabad

  • Maintenance of steam locomotives required a large number of staff. Around 1000 people worked at each of the large sheds, not including the drivers and firemen. With the introduction of diesel locomotives many employees lost their jobs. The video scenes were taken at Moradabad (roundhouse, turntable) and Saharanpur (engine yard, coaling facility) in 1994, the last-but-one year of working broad gauge steam.
    Wartung und Betrieb der Dampflokomotiven in Indien war eine personalintensive Aufgabe. Etwa 1000 Beschäftigte hatte jedes der grossen Betriebswerke, nicht eingerechnet die Lokfuehrer und Heizer. Mit der Umstellung auf Dieselloks verloren die meisten ihre Jobs. Die Aufnahmen entstanden in Moradabad (Rundschuppen, Drehscheibe) und Saharanpur (Freigelaende, Bekohlung) im Februar 1994, dem vorletzten Jahr des Dampfbetriebs auf Breitspur in Indien.

Upto 1967 we travelled by steam locomotive only 12 coaches used to be there 3 types class. 1 2 and 3rd class First time rly introduced 17 coaches. With diesel engine Though we had so.

    This video footage itself is very old from 1994-1995.
    Steam locomotive trains no longer remain in India except the rare heritage and tourists trains! Steam locomotives were in decline from late 70,s itself in India.
    Major cities had shunned steam by then. Only small towns and branch lines operated them.
    Steam broad gauge main line officially ended in 1995 in India but it was more of the few sporadic services which were remaining. Metre Gauge Steam I believe ended in the year 2000.

    Indian Railways can design CNG boiler for Steam Locomotive to avoid pollution & use Steam Locomotive for houling Tourist trains.
    Electric back up van can be used for coaches light/AC purposes
    CNG is clean fuel.

      Now only the heritage and few tourist steam locomotive trains remain in India.
      In UK Germany USA though steam locomotive trains remain in plentiful. Even in Russia and China has a lot of industrial steam locomotive trains working in the mine quarries.
      UK has even mainline steam locomotive trains plying almost daily somewhere in their country.

    I wonder why steam engines have been shunned? The problem was with coal not the steam part. So why not replace the coal with a clean fuel and use steam. The benefits of steam in a large locomotive is the power and tractive effort which is unmatched even by the most powerful electric locomotives.

    Can you please tell me how many coaches could a broad gauge steam locomotive pull?
    I have travelled many times during my younger days but don't recollect paying attention to such details.

      In the last days of steam the locos hauled 5 to 10 coaches. In older times when the engines were in better shape they moved up to 20 coaches over lines with no sever gradients. Similar to modern times, albeit much slower.

      Broad gauge locomotives can pull upto 1200 tonnes of weight .In old days broad gauge coaches weigh 48 tonnes each. Whereas, metre gauge locomotives can pull 700 tonnes of weight , MG coaches are maximum 36 tonnes in weight. I hope you get answer
