#Stereo #crossview #photograph Fowler #1004 - This tiny locomotive was imported from John Fowler & Co., Leeds, and was originally used to work light passenger trains on the areas of Gondal and Saurashtra state. Later it was used as a shunting locomotive in Ajmer Workshops of the Western Railway. Diesel traction got off to a very early start in the arid regions of Saurashtra in Gujarat, on account of a perennial water shortage, and the subsequent non-availability of sufficient water supplies for steam locomotives. This diminutive diesel engine was one of the first to run in that area; indeed, one of the first diesels to run on Indian soil. It got retired in 1970.It has a 4 stroke 4 cylinder 150 BHP diesel engine with mechanical transmission. Its maker number was 4200031, Saurashtra Railway No. 203, Western Railway No. 1004. It was imported at the cost of INR. 5,936/-. #StereoPhoto #3D #Railway #stereoclicks #stereogram
