KC 520 of the Kalka Simla Railway was restored at the Amristar workshops of NR and special runs commenced on the section in September 2001. Dileep Prakash (black & whites) and PJ Singh (colour) of the ISRS covered the occasion on film. The following is a collection of some of their photos taken on that trip.
Steam returned to the KSR on the 16th of April 2002 to celebrate 150 years of IR. Photos for this event are currently unavailable.
