With Steam traction just a memory on the Indian metre gauge this book forms a fitting tribute to the great days of steam locomotives running on the 'sub-standard gauge'. Many of the lines themselves have now been converted to broad gauge while others have been closed. Included in the book are full details of the metre gauge locomotives that worked on seven of the nine zonal railways during the time of the author's visits plus lists of all the Indian railway (IRS) designs and later standard classes.
A very comprehensive coverage of the metre gauge steam scen in India towards in the last decades of last century.
