A Tragic end to the Meter Gauge (NER MG) Locomotives : Indian Railways

Meter Gauge (MG) Lines are rapidly disappearing in many parts of India making way for Broad Gauge and Electrification.There are hardly a handful of small MG branch lines that are spared by the Indian Railways which are on the verge of closure.
One such line that is on the verge of closure is the Truncated Pilibhit - Mailani 68 KM MG line breathing its last days. This line once functioned from Moradabad - Bareilly - Izzatnagar - Pilibhit -Mailani-Sitapur and Lucknow Aishbagh.

We were shocked to spot a fleet of 13 Izzatnagar (IZN) YDM4 Locomotives stabled at a remote Station Mala near Pilibhit.The station is located on the Pilibhit - Mailani MG line. From the Local authorities we learnt that these Locomotives will be scrapped once the line gets closed. We were shattered to see these MG beasts that once ruled this Section like warriors in a sorry helpless state.

Train : Pilibhit - Mailani and Mailani - Pilibhit Passenger Trains.
Locomotive : YDM4 Izzatnagar Diesel Shed.
Location : Mala Railway Station, Uttar Pradesh (UP State). North Eastern Railways.
