Caption - Mysore Iron & Steel (later Visvesvaraya Iron & Steel) had both metre and narrow gauge systems. This image taken in March 1978 shows metre gauge ex-Southern Railway (India) E class 4-4-4T still carrying is original number 37244. Very few locos were built to this wheel arrangement certainly in the 20th century and this loco was built by North British in Glasgow in 1920 (Works number 22782). At the time of this visit this rather quaint and ancient looking loco was still used shunting wagons in the steel works yards.
