This a book which charts the 70 years' journey of development of the Chittaranjan Locomotive Works from the indeginous production of steam engines to the high speed state of the art electric locomotive production. Built just after the country's independence in West Bengal, situated at the border of the tribal area of Santhal Parganas, CLW has not only brought prosperity to this backward region, but has grown to be an industrial powerhouse for not only the Indian Railways but to its feeder industries. The hard work put in by its railway pioneers has resulted in its all round excellence.
This book salutes the factory, its workers and their families, who have seamlessly embraced the upgradation of technology over these 70 years to make it on of the proud possessions of the Indian Railways.
