Steam Locomotives of Indian Railways offers a detailed historical account of the advent and evolution of steam locomotives in India. Beginning with the first engine Thomason in 1851 and the iconic inaugural train journey from Bombay to Thane in 1853, the book traces the development of railway gauges, early pioneers like the East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula Railway companies, and the expansion of steam locomotion across the country. Rich in technical and historical detail, it also highlights the enduring legacy of steam engines, many of which remain in operation, making Indian Railways the world’s largest active steam locomotive operator.
