IN6.4 This map in Indoor Gallery
# 6 shows the progress made by the IR in 'Project Unigauge', a surprisingly successfully
being implemented programme of tearing up all mg and ng tracks in India (barring the hill
railways) and replacing them with bg tracks. The is to minimize delays in transhipment
etc. by having one uniform rail gauge all over the country. Most of the important mg
routes are already history now, and have been replaced by bg track. |

English Electric built EG/1 electric engine, (later WCM/1). These engines were the largest

were still in active service till 1999. This model was originally kept in the first
gallery, but has now been moved to the last. |
