Caption - Sharp Stewart built metre gauge class D 0-4-0 "Mersey" is seen at Hathua (Bihar, India) in February 1984. This loco achieved cult status amongst enthusiasts having been built in 1873. After 60 years of service, it was sold to Shree Krishna Gyanoday Sugar Mills in 1933 where it spent the remainder of its working life. As with many sugar mills, locos only worked for part os the year which helped extened their lives.
