by Gilbert Loreaux and Mukul Mangalik. The film captures the last run of a steam hauled service on the Ahmedabad - Udaipur section. A must watch for any steam lover.
My cousin Mervin Lazarus joined railways 16 yrs of age . Looking at this vdo i remember he had put hard work to become loco foreman at Daund. May he soul rest in peace. Hard work done on face of the earth on india railway. South Central.
Mr. Raman Lal Rathod is admirable in every way. Unfortunately I do not have the chance to know him. His death in January 2013 makes me sad. A big thank you for giving us his name.
I felt very emotional, I might have born in that steam era, missed those coal fired steam locomotives a lot. Thanks a lot for taking us back in to steam days 😍👌🏼
Thank you so much for posting this. As a steam aficionado, this documentary has immense nostalgic value for me. The men who drove these beauties took pride in their machines, their jobs, their responsibilities , their accomplishments unlike the diesel and electric crews these days. The end of steam saw the end of a glorious era for the Indian railways.
Ours is a lucky generation having travelled in bullock cart, Tonga, man-powered rickshaw, auto rickshaw, car, steam/diesel/electric loco driven train, propeller/jet engine planes, HS-28 to A380.
21 gun salute to this and those unsung heroes who have made what indian railways is today....dedicacton...hardwork....and above all the LOVE towards their work.....indian railways.....the lifeline of the nation...
I know this meter gauge section well, going back to the early '50s. From Ahmedabad , Mt Abu, Mehsana Jn left to Jodhpur etc: Udaipur & Rajkot. Ajmer was a big division, it had the oldest Loco Workshop and boasted of manufacturing India's first Locomotive in 1926 or thereabouts. The meter gauge line went on to Old Delhi Station. It is true that engine drivers were a special breed and took immense pride in the cleanliness of their engines and would deck it it out with with lights and shiny brass fittings and other gimmicks; even their crew, the fireman and oilers and cleaners were inspected for their turnout. The senior A- Grade Mail engine drivers were a haughty lot. Mostly anglo indians, parsis, musalmaans from certain parts of the country and selected upper crust hindus. They were like family. It was an unforgettable and glorious era.
My Grandfather Francis Pharao and my late husband Reginald D'Cunha drove these beauties. I loved our Railway life. My Dad Peter Mathias retired as Boiler Foreman in Bhusawal
Indian steam Engine Drivers is KING of Indian Railway having Royal Life n Responsibilities in all weather for train n passengers Love you Masters 🔥🌡️☀️🌦️⛈️☄️🌠🙏🙏🙏👍👍🧡♥️💝
What an awesome Engine Driver he is. Loves his Engine like a Father loves and understands his child. Respects his fireman too! Now that is what a Noble person does. Few like him nowadays. God bless you Driver Saab!!
My grandfather was European Grade A driver. He use to Take the train from Lahore to Saharanpur UP. He retired in late 1960’s After retirement they settled in Jagadhari Haryana. Our paternal family they were all working in Northern Railway. He passed away in 1972 . I am proud of him.
इस वीडियो के माध्यम से उस जमाने के लोकोरनिंग स्टाफ के जीवन की glory को बड़े ही मौलिक तरीके से दिखाया गया,वास्तव में उस जमाने में रेल इंजन चालक का रेल्वे में बड़ा महत्व और वजन था,❤❤❤
I was on this train in 1994. This journey across the Aravali brings out the poet in you. NO wonder The loco driver Mr Rathod says although Iam a driver, all my life I have been a traveller. There are a few things which technology cannot replace, like this one , the pristine journey of an era long vanished. The video gave great joy especially because of my father who was, like the driver a 'proud' railway man.
My father uncles and cousins all served on the Southern Railway as drivers firemen and guards and this video brought tears to my eyes reliving what they all went through My hats off to the driver Mr Rathod and the first and second fireman I imagined my father on the footplate and my uncles and cousins as firemen and guards Indian Railway employees you are the best in the world and Indian Railways no one can compare with you Thank you for the beautiful video and the beautiful landscape of our great country
Kash mai Driver hota railme, I prayed to god next born should be as railway driver means pilot on rail, Thanks to all and shri Rathodji send her mobile no. Please.
The charm of the Black, power of coal, thrust by iron will........the nostalgia of the chug........ these steam engines made our childhood so colourful.......... Alas,it has all vanished like a dream, that was true once upon a time.l have been lucky to witness all that.🚧🧜♂
Hello Pratik, Glad to know that you are an acquaintance of Mr. Raman Lal Rathore. Convey our warm regards and appreciation to him and thank him for his selfless service to the Indian Railways. I hope to meet him in person some day.
A dying breed of steam train enthusiast who will join the band to operate, repair/maintain these living, breathing iron horses. Always a proud moment when I see news about a steam locomotive brought back into working order to show the world a glimpse of their former glory.
Respected Chacha ji, where are you located? I'd love to sit besides you and listen to you. I'm from Chandigarh. And of course, just as you must be thinking and so am I, Tyagis being small in numbers are always a tribe in themselves. Kahin na kahin se rishta (khoon waala, dil waala toh pehle hi ban gya) bhi nikal aayega. Warm Regards, Chacha ji.
Railwaymen had ownership and did their duty with great commitment. One of good systems British created for India is Railways. God bless their families.
My grandfather was a steam driver hauling freight trains between Lucknow and Mughal Sarai. His stories abt his journey were just mesmerising. I remember how he used to make tea,rice dal and chapaties near the firebox and also mutton that he made without the use of a pressure cooker. I wud love steam engines to be back on the Indian trarcks.

These trains are way of our lives 😭🙏 🙏😇❤️🚂🚂🚂 In my childhood 1974... My mother, father, sister... travels from Nidubrolu to Tirupathi... In 2nd class it's my first time to travel in train... 😍... In 1986-90... 4 years engineering studies in VEC we travel meter gauge steam engine from Guntur City to Bellary city... It's very happy situation 😊😀 I our lives... 🙏🙏😰😇🇮🇳🇮🇳🚂
Wonderful video, she is a masterpiece. I look at it very often. What human qualities and wisdom in this remarkable man who drives this steam locomotive. He respects her as a person. What life in this train. We are not outside the scene; we live it intensely in the cab of the locomotive engine as in passenger cars. We are here for the party for his last trip. These machines should not be forgotten like the men who took care of them. Thank you all.
My father was a steam engine driver in S.E.Rly, I remember his works, having watched him on duty.Truely it requires real guts to run the behemoth I salute this driver sahab & wish him very best,many thanks for this presentation.
I thank to all the drivers , firemans who had served the Indian Railways on the era of steam engines for which the Indian Railway had moved forward for a better destination, I salute to them & personally I feel proud than I have a better chance to serve the Railways from Ratlam Division of Western Railway & still I am working at coaching depot Santragachi of S.E.Railway
The end of an era, sad and emotional.There is NOTHING like steam locomotives and the people who work them, from the call boy to the driver. Ive not been to India but i can tell you one thing for sure, all enginemen all over the world are part of the same family i can clearly see this. Ive never seen a driver not offer a fellow engineman a ride (or even a swing on the bango or regulator) on the footplate wherever possible,its a common bond no matter where you hail from.I see other comments by locals lamenting failure to preserve these engines, its sad but please don't blame yourselves, sometimes these things cant be done. Ive run steam locomotives on multiple now dead railways,i just try to remember what was rather than lament the fact that they no longer operate.I don't think there was much if anything i (or anybody else)could have done at the time. All the best to you all,may you fire be hot,your water high and the safety valve feathering.Bless you all.
laughing man rathord ji salute to you for serving indian railways. hats off toyou for such a dedicated hard job. also thanks to your coal man and fireman.all the best.
It is clearly visible that this driver loves his engine very much, like her wife. And the engine was looking very beautiful in the end. I am sad that this come to an end.
The mimicry programs of my school days flash into my eyes. If it is a train sound, it will always be the sound of a steam engine by placing the gap of the thumb and index finger and produce the "whoosh, whoosh" sound and the intermittent "vooh, vooh" of the horn sound. If it is a train, it must be a steam engine, not the lifeless diesel and electric locomotives.
salute to the drivers. OMG wat a tough job. Current era drivers have the luxury of sitting and watching the route thro toughened glasses but these guys need to peep out all d time...imagine the same on a moonless night...it wud be the challenging task of their journey...God bless them.
a big salute to rathod ji, i remember steam engines in indian railway at broad gauge and metre guage, in metre guage steam engine trains we often travel to palani, a temple town in tamilnad, from palakkad railway junction in 1980 ees, i feel the coal smell , what a rhythemic sound, isn't it, once again a big salute to rathod sab from my heart, my father was a railway engineer, jayakumar shoranur keralam
I am 1989 born.. this was the time when most of the steam locomotives pulled out from the main line... I just have a faded memory of whistling sound team loco. But never got a chance to see them working... 😔. Sometimes I felt like Indian railways just killed them. Still Indian railway is capable to run steem locos on main line
Firs of many many thanks for this clip and I request u please upload more clip of steam engine train of Western railway Baroda division once again thank u
Dear Pratik Rathod. It is really fantastic . Just now, by accidentally, I saw this video. Truly amazing. Your Grandpa Mr Ramanlal would've been a very very nice human being. During the journey, he used to acknowledge the wishes of those poor people , young ones with goats in fields & adhiwasi girls with firewoods. It is touching everyone's hearts. He would have loved his very very tough job of steam engine driver from body language itself one can understand & acknowledge. During his last journey of his driving career, he was so sad when we look at his face which is understandable by everyone. Since, every one in his career , should face his last day in whatever post he occupies. Really an epic journey which was filmed so nice & so it's presentation. Hats off & thanks for filming & bringing such an epic journey & unforgettable memories of Legend like Mr Raman lal.. D Selvaraj Coimbatore
I'm a Assistant Loco Pilot in East Coast Railway.... Loco Pilot ka duty bahut risky aur dangerous hai... Jab raat ke 2 ya 3 baje sab so rahe honge tab humlog Loco me pure dedication ke sath Train movement karte hai....
Fills my eyes with tears when I see these icons of the past.... how lovely these were , the most obedient queens to these magnificent men on the footplate
All the drivers take pride in their machines. I am a driver too (not trains), I can understand. I love the steam locomotive and its always a pleasure to see these men of steel hauling metal with pride!!!! Awesome!! I wish India preserved these machines and ran them for the new generation to enjoy. O I wish!!!!
ना जाने इस दुनियां में कितने आए और अपने किरदार निभा कर चले गए। तब जाकर आज हिंदुस्तान आज यहाँ है। लाखों लोगों ने अपने पसीनों से सींचा है इस देश को ...आज एक एक नालयक खून और पसीनों को मेहनत को बेचने पर तुला है
What humanity, what wisdom, what life, a face that is not forgotten. A face illuminated by a broad smile at this locomotive engineer. I do not get tired of watching this wonderful video for years for the locomotive but even more for his locomotive engineer.
Salutations to the steam heritage for concluding an era with IR. A tribute to all steam loco pilots and all the memories will always be afresh in our hearts.
The way the engine drier enjoyed his work is great. I heartily respect this man. I am watching this video again and again

All the drivers take pride in their machines. I am a driver too (not trains), I can understand. I love the steam locomotive and its always a pleasure to see these men of steel hauling metal with pride!!!! Awesome!! I wish India preserved these machines and ran them for the new generation to enjoy. O I wish!!!!
ना जाने इस दुनियां में कितने आए और अपने किरदार निभा कर चले गए।
तब जाकर आज हिंदुस्तान आज यहाँ है।
लाखों लोगों ने अपने पसीनों से सींचा है इस देश को ...आज एक एक नालयक खून और पसीनों को मेहनत को बेचने पर तुला है
What humanity, what wisdom, what life, a face that is not forgotten. A face illuminated by a broad smile at this locomotive engineer. I do not get tired of watching this wonderful video for years for the locomotive but even more for his locomotive engineer.
I salute this man and his team, great dedication for his work and makes Indian railways great.👍
Salutations to the steam heritage for concluding an era with IR. A tribute to all steam loco pilots and all the memories will always be afresh in our hearts.
Was the engine shown in the film saved or was it scrapped ?
