When BR ran its “15 guinea Special” in August 1968 many believed that steam locomotives would quickly become a “thing of the past” and that future workings would be restricted to the heritage lines which had begun to appear.

The railways did more than link India - they brought its people together, changing histories, forging destinies, and leaving a lasting legacy.
