Steam in India 2005 - Riga Sugar Mill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- In 2005 The Riga Sugar Mill, located in the north east of Bihar State, not far from the Nepal border, operated two metre gauge locos. A 1930 built Hudswell Clarke 0-8-0ST and a small Hunslet 0-4-0 diesel built in 1935. Ox carts were also used to bring a significant quantity of cane to the mill. Despite this ancient motive power, Riga Sugar Mill, is modern a factory and produces Sugar, Molasses, Bagass (the fibrous residue of cane burnt in the furnace to produce power), Ethyl Alcohol, Industrial Alcohol and fertiliser.
I was in riga from 2002-2005. Wow bring out my childhood. People were so happy back then. So much simplicity. Our country has developed so fast. Atleast i have seen transition from very old generation to new one. From running behind these train to get sugarcane, to now working as a developer in one of the biggest company.
क्या यार बचपना याद आ गया। बहोत ही शुंदर विडियो एक ओर आधुनिक रेलगाड़ी जा रही है और इस तरफ वो छुक छुक पुरानी रेलगाड़ी दिल दिमाग को प्रभावित करने वाला विडियो।।।
Good morning
amazing snapshot of real raw India. beautiful people. amazing machinery. still in working order
This gem of a video, provides us with a reminder of what the Trinidad sugar cane industry may have looked like back at the turn of the last century. Thank you for this superb footage.

Riga Sugar Company Limited . A flagship company of DHANUKA GROUP. It's one of the prominent Industrial Enterprises in Bihar, India. Now they are using small diesels for their operation.
I miss India. It transformed my life back in '73-'74...
Wow and how old are you now sir?? :)

What an fascinating railroad and operation! A neat little tank engine, too. To see oxen carts along side the railroad is incredible. Thanks for sharing this video with us. ❤😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful....Can't say enough times.Thanks for posting.
Great video of Indian rural life. In 1973, I used to see a narrow gauge training running between Palasa, Naupada and Gunupur in Andhrapradesh, India. In 1974, I saw a sugar mill in my village, Garugubilli, Andhra Pradesh, India. We used to cultivate Sugar, Jute and Rice. We had 2 ox, 2 buffaloes and 1 cow. The ride on ox cart was thrilling. It would be complete, if u had shown the water resource like a tank or pond or a canal for 15 seconds.
Beautiful days, and the peopls
And thieir life.
बचपन याद आ गया भाई😢
The small diesel loco - the Hunslet 0-4-0 - looks like it has been retrofitted with a a tractor engine !!
What a beautiful Locomotive 0-8-0 and landscape ..... I see people everywhere ... typical in India....Like friend...
Such a sweet beautiful video capturing a simple self sustaining wholesome lifestyle ❤️💕
Video accha hai kafi time se stem engine nahi dekha . Good
बहुत अच्छा लगा बैल से इख हम लेजाते हैं
Hello Georges!
Really very beautiful video. Maybe one day I would go...
Beautiful India. Jai hind.
Nice video.
One fact that can be seen is that steam engines introduced in the 19 th century India , is now just a forgotten relic, of an obsolete technology,
But the wretched conditions of the local people still remains the same even in the 21st century.
The fact is that the benefits of 'progress', in the country has still not trickled down to the people.
Their condition remains the same as was before, wether under the British or Indians themselves.
Nothing has changed.

Guess what, even as late as 2012, China used steam engines in its steel manufacturing. The videos exist on this same channel. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Knives, spears, and axes are all technology used by Humans for the last 10,000 or so years.
That was fascinating 🤓 thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you, very good presentation of how much work goes into making sugar.
I put up at Riga what a golden day 😭😭😭kash Riga phir se shuru ho jaye
Golden memories.
Amazing, the same country that brings satelites in space now (and back in 2005 already as well), but this is a timeframe of 100 years ago.
The video shows how the train was a revolution over the oxcart back then in terms of tonnage and speed, and yet they survived next to each other for more than a century.
It's a village life.....that's why its called village
Very nice
what a crazy footage this is oh my god we have a steam engine working right there on this sugar mill- which part of globe did the camera land to produce such a brilliant video- i pray hope this engine still surviving there - god- loved it so much
Rahul Atul china still uses steam engines
Which God loves steam locos?. I thought you had dozens. Millions of Indian girls are missing. Your God does nothing about it.
BAHUT SUNDER VDO. MOTHER INDIA.
Jane Kahan Gaye Wo Din !
PM Modi's vow to send an Indian into space by 2022 sets an ambitious deadline for the nation's space agency to launch its first manned space mission. Experts say it's going to be a very challenging endeavor. I agree.
great to see that it is the - little - farmer who brings the cane. and not the mega conglomerates...
A valuable time....
Nizam sugar factory is Asia biggest one,its sad presently closed from long time,located @Nizamabad telengana,built by king Osman Ali khan seventh rular of Asif jahi era,a net of many steam engines transport sugar cane to factory,

Lockdown mein is video ko kaun kaun dekh raha hai 2020
veediyo dekhana svaasthy ke lie jokhim nahin hai. yah ghar par band logon ke lie manoranjan pradaan karata hai.
वीडियो देखना स्वास्थ्य के लिए जोखिम नहीं है। यह घर पर बंद लोगों के लिए मनोरंजन प्रदान करता है।Watching a Video is not a risk to health. It provides entertainment for people locked down at home.
My village is next to riga station now this year i definately search about it
did you found the steam engine there ?
I am from 2nd next station to riga
Such a wonderful vedio,
यह स्टीम इंजन अकेला चलता हुआ ऐसे लग रहा है जैसे कि एक छोटा हाथी हो। असली रेलगाड़ी तो सिर्फ़ छुक छुक वाली ही होती थी।
nice
Steam loco...like thoko 👍

Wow thanks for upload this is my village.
entertainment wap is this train still working?
@@varinderldh6367 Nope
The section is BG long back and train services to Sugar Mill is not in function.
How do they prevent the cane getting set on fire?
Blackthorne,very nice vedio indeed. It seems that there is real hardwork and study as usual in your every video. You not only shoot just steam engine but also the surroundings with all references such culture, agriculture, nature and many other. Thanks.
Thank you.
How's this for "The Little Engine That Could."

lovely strong little steam engine .......beep beep beep
And pulling all those loaded cars.

Such a sweet beautiful video
typical rural india but am sure 11 years down the line today none of the steam locos would be surviving.....
You are correct, all steam in India is now finished except for a few tourist lines and even those usually require a charter to see steam in action.
govt is having a ppan to ban all these polluting engines by 2030
@@rabindrakumarnayak5382 you mean petrol and diesel cars possibly, as there are no longer any steam locomotives left in India.
Possibly less than 10 used sparingly for occasionall heritage runs.
UK by the way has many many operational steam locomotive trains running daily, even on their mainline. I've never sat in a steam locomotive train in India but sat twice in the UK in a steam engine train. They're very well maintained. And UK has even built a brand new steam locomotive called the Tornado in 2009-2010.
Diesel cars are more polluting.
The video is really excellent ! Ioved it !
It is my home place !!
amir hossain is this train still working?
varinder ldh , it was recently discontinued bro !
amir hossain very sad to hear. Must be in running condition.
varinder ldh ,😢😢 !
Beautiful INDIA
Awesome video. Is it still in operation? The small diesel engine is the transformed Massey Ferguson Tractor engine I hope. but was really good. hardly we get to see these thing staying in India.
Kon sb 2021 m dekh rha h
Right.
Despite your channel it's about steam locomotives, it called my attention the diesel one. Do you know if narrow gauages diesel locos are still made nowadays? Thanks in advance.
PD: here in Argentina we have in the province of Entre Ríos an historical train that it was originally steam-propelled but it was reconverted to diesel with an old 30's Bedford truck engine. It might sound crazy or outrageous but there weren't any supplies to fix the old steam engine. But it works well. If you ever come you might want to take a look although trere are other two historical trains that are original mantained located in the Patagonia region.
We still construct some in the UK but it's the odd one for our narrow gauge and minture railways but in mainstream that's really it.
some one made the comment, "Such a sweet beautiful video capturing a simple self sustaining wholesome lifestyle "
OMG "wholesome lifestyle ". please . just look at the huge number of people milling around living in what appears to be a rags and poverty existence. and even more the number of children running around like its DICKENS LONDON. the whole video is like a horror movie from the past. but sadly its today. if this is the peoples plight then god help them........................
@@sunmoon1234 sourabh I really feel for your people. videos like this I can only look at for a short time before I sadly turn away. it totally daunts me how humanity is going to see another 100 years before some awful calamity engulfs us all.
aside from that it's good of you to reply and describe the life of many of your people
@@sunmoon1234 'Now in 2020 that cumulative failures of previous governments and current government who is right wing hindu nationalist are pushing economy to total destruction.'
Yes blame the boogeyman BJP. But not the socialists that have ruined the economy by 3.5% average GDP growth per year.
@@sunmoon1234 BTW are the poor working conditions under CPI(M) rule(Communist Party of India) is due to Right Wing Hindu government? Right??

@@sunmoon1234 'Our policy makers in early 90s thought that it's a good idea to jump to services outsourcing rather than manufacturing like China did. '
Blame red tape and socialist mindset of every Indian Party, China has hyper capitalistic SEZ's. Regional parties like TMC don't believe in SEZ's!
'please . just look at the huge number of people milling around living in what appears to be a rags and poverty existence.'
That's 50 years of socialism for ya
Thanks giving to Blackhorne.
Everyone was looking at the cameraman 🙂
They did not get many visitors, foreigners with video cameras were good free entertainment.
Nice
Ive always wanted to see an 0-8-0t
I love this
2:27 that's actually a farm tractor right!!
It does look like a farm tractor and it may be a locally built loco based on one. It does have a works plate (sorry no details noted) so it could be a factory built loco using tractor components.
@@blackthorne57 It looks like it was re powered. If you look closely at the firewall, it looks like it once had a larger hood.
That is a International Harvestor Cub refitted onto the loco.
Beautiful ❤️🥰
Hii
.....if...u... salve...all.. problem s...of... society...they..will..then..create...even....bigger..ones..!!
Nothing wrong with that saved planet
There are no sugar mill available in raichur so launch sugars mill in Raichur
blackthorne57, you have an eye for the scenery, great videos!
awsome
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing
Love it.
i love my india
Great stuff, George. Some real period pieces there.
Very interesting scenes fom a other world.
Wow super
Last boiler inspection 1955.
Do you have evidence of that statement? I would be very interested to see it.
@@blackthorne57 I assume they don't do the regular inspection like here in the in the US or the UK or Australia which is why I made the "joke".
That train is now stopped.... So let it rest in peace
Great

Video title says 2005, which is wrong.....it must be at least 90's , i know this railway rout(the darbhanga-narkatiyaganj stretch) from my childhood and only have seen diesel engines, never saw any functional steam engine, now they have been upgraded to broad guaze also.
There is no question about the date this video was shot, it was 2005. You are correct to say that main line steam in India was eliminated by the mid 1990s, however this video was shot at Riga Sugar Mill where they were still using steam at the time of my visit.
George this is absolutely superb. The starting shots put the railway operation in its true context. You are so good at capturing the ambience and local scenes. Deserves to have more than 1 million views! Fantastic!
These poor people.. :-(
That's what British left....after 200 years rule
Beautiful
nice train....!

Sir mai sugar khardina chata hu so kaise kharid skate hai
is that the worlds only 0-8-0 Hunslett?
The Hunslet is an 0-4-0 diesel, the 0-8-0ST steam loco is a Hudswell Clark built in 1930.
Mera bihar
wow so sweet
that diesel looks like it has rebuilded engine from Zetor 25 :D
The small blue diesel was built by the Hunslet Engine Company, Leeds, UK for Robert Husdon Ltd in 1935. It was not a rebuild from a tractor.
you can see that there was bigger engine cover - on the cabin and also on the bottom on the loco, and the front mask is totally ZETOR 25 www.sbazar.cz/repa83/detail/26675754-zetor-25, ZETOR tractors were exported to India and later also manufactured there
