From The Hindu, February 21, 1925: Canadian locomotives for India

Attention has been drawn by the Canadian Trade Commissioner in India to the question of the locomotives used there, and he appears to hold out some hope that Canada may have some chances of supplying a proportion of them to the Indian Railways, we are told by a Pioneer correspondent. He says that engineers in India are slowly awakening to the fact that the Canadian and American types of locomotives are more suitable in the country than the British, which appear to have almost the monopoly. He claims that the locomotives made here are more “get-at-able”, and when taken off the road for repairs are said to spend much less time in the work shops than the English type.
