Indian Metre-Gauge Heaven! Ajmer on India's Western Railway was a 
treasure-house of old locomotive types, with Imperial  
(pre-Independence), classes outnumbering Indian Railways standard  
designs. All has long since gone - steam was replaced by diesel  
traction and the metre gauge has been superseded by Indian Railways' 
broad gauge of 5 feet, six inches (1.676m). Here are a few memories,
seen on just one day in December, 1979:

Co-Co diesel TDM8 No. 6091 has rescued a failed YP Class 4-6-2 No.2445 
on a freight from Delhi. At the time, Ajmer was 100% steam operation so 
the diesel was immediately detached and returned north.
