With Steam traction just a memory on the Indian broad gauge this book forms a fitting tribute to the great days of steam locomotives running on wider tracks. Included in this book are full details of the broad gauge locomotives that worked on the then nine zonal railways during the time of the author's visits, plus list of all the Indian designs from the IRS period onwards. The book also features a map showing all the broad gauge depots, and several pen and ink drawings.
The book has a very good and extensive coverage of Broad Gauge Steam Traction in India with some fine photographs
