Old Delhi India 7th June 1980

A morning visit to Old Delhi, or Delhi Junction, station and broad gauge 4-6-2 WP 7569 departs eastwards with a passenger train. Note the last minute passenger jumping aboard the second coach!

Based on a 1947 design by Baldwin Locomotive Works in the U.S.A more than half of the 755 5ft 6in gauge WPs were imported from North America but the last 289 were built at Chittaranjan works in India. This particular engine was built by the Canadian Locomotive Company in 1955.

Looks like it doesn't it? I have seen photos of WPs working out of Delhi Junction in 1993 so those wires must have been for suburban traffic at the time.
