Evertrainz Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I personally find it hilarious that this milk train is practically the same composition of those of the Western Region in the early BR days. A puffing loco, 15 milk wagons, and a brake coach tagged onto the rear! MILK Express for the First time on YouTube! - YouTube 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably think it hilarious that we're not smart enough to do likewise 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evertrainz Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Indian Railways still tag an occasional bogie milk tanker onto the rear of fast expresses that are headed to or through more remote areas to supply milk, but it's becoming less common. But this is a first for me, seeing a full-on rake of milk tanks! But it seems everything BR does, Indian Railways mirrors 30 years later! Example: BR switched completely from the maroon MK1 livery to the monotonous blue and white around 1970. Indian Railways went from maroon to blue and white full in 2000. The WR's silver milk tanks behind hydraulics pounding away in the 70's, in the video you see silver tanks behind a diesel pounding away alike.

sandwich station Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Don't seem to remember people walking around on the track like that in 1970's UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
