- Whispers of Steam: Steam Heritage Special with 'Ashoka'
Capturing a rare moment in rail history yesterday! Steam locomotive WP #7000, affectionately known as "Ashoka," gracefully chugged through Shahbad (SMDP) on a foggy winter morning, heading towards Rewari with the enchanting Fairy Queen Express.
Earlier, I focused on capturing 14088 JSM DLI Runicha featuring the stunning 20055 TKD Bleed Blue WDP4. As I was about to wrap up my railfanning day, satisfied with the iconic TKD livery shots, I was surprised. A mysterious greyish-black train appeared on the horizon, and my initial guess of "Alco" was quickly dismissed as I zoomed in through the camera lens.
To my sheer amazement, it was a live steam locomotive! I promptly prepared my phone and camera, positioning myself for the perfect shot. Ashoka's rhythmic chugging, melodious whistle, and leisurely pace garnered attention from onlookers as it gracefully passed through SMDP.
This unexpected encounter marked one of the greatest captures of my railfanning journey. This is the essence of steam heritage-a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era. Steam trains exude a majestic charm uniquely their own. Let's hope the Indian Railways runs these steam beauties more frequently, coupled with effective marketing and affordable pricing, allowing more enthusiasts to relish this magical experience.

Nice video. Good quality 👌🏻
Incredible capture dude! I thought this train was not operating anymore. In my childhood, I went with my father at Palam station early morning around 8:00 am when I first saw this train. This January, I went to Palam station again to see this in morning. I waited there till 10:00 am, went back disappointed. I am so happy to see that it's still in service.
When are Railways starting this steam engine tourist train again from Delhi to Rewari..any idea? Would like to my family for this ride
Wonderful image, even the two stray dogs on the platform looked impressed.
Yes! Such is the grandeur of a steam engine.
An Iconic Capture indeed Bhaiya!! ❤❤

Thanks HImanshu 🙂
Ye 120 kmph par ja sakta hai. Itna slow chala rahe hai isko.
Nahi bhai, WP is not capable for 120kmph. Also, it is old and fragile.
@@shivansh12951 it's 110 kmph .. ye engine scrap hai. If Chittaranjan locomotive can make new WP then it can.. CLW was hub of WP.
I mean these locos are old. Issliye going at high speeds might be difficult to achieve in such a small section with stops.@@KT43124
@@shivansh12951 yes you are right 👍
Wp tested at 120 kmph in trails in 1947 and regulary ran at 105/110 kmph
