I have seen some YDM4 pics and felt so happy to see such MG loco pics so closely. I never knew that I had fascination for such.
But, that's the end as I keep reading that they are gonna come to an end, I feel that such cultural heritage can be protected by keeping few lines as MG/NG.
Are there any more who feel the same way?

Yes.....totally agreed there.You can't some up or gauge such things just by words.........it's just felt by heart :) there is something in this which is really soothing and satisfying when you look back at such stuff.It just gives you your identity :)

I think Ministry of Tourism should be more active in this aspect.I was told that the Viaduct in Switzerland......."Landwasser" or some name,the Railways which looks over the operation is associated with U.N.E.S.C.O and is regarded as "World Heritage Site" or somthin like that :) I think India has so much to offer,be it mountains,beaches,deserts,snow,waterfalls......the flora and fauna from North to South from East to West has to much potential and can be taken in the best ways possible to showcase Brand India with both Railways and Tourism being primary stakeholders.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
