Mysore shed in 1991

	YG 4253 in periodic maintenance. All the Mysore powers have (had !) this colour combination. This is an example of TELCO built YG, whose trademark is TATA.
	View of the coaling line outside the shed. The shed is to the right of this location. Behind us is the MYS station and the tracks ahead would lead to Arsikere. Note the accident relief rake on the left.
	The MYS roundhouse in front of the coaling line
	The shed foreman welcomed us with the warmth and charm found on often on the SR. Here he explains the shed details to yours truly. The first two locos illustrate the round and the square shells of headlights found on YPs and YGs.
	Morning shift in full swing
	View from the corner of the shed
	The single turntable leads to the radiating lines in all directions. YG 3424 being readied to be turned onto the correct line.
	Waiting for the other two guys required at the other end of the turntable
	Four people is all that it requires to push and turn the YG
	Turning ...
	Almost there ...
	Locking the turntable in place so that the loco can be steam out
	View from the footplate as another power is turned on the table. This is the mechanical recording speedo found on many steam powers. The red lamp just below the 12 o'clock position is supposed to light in the event of over speeding. Note the clock in the centre of the speedo dial.
	The loco now faces the other way
	Injector at work on the YG.
	An accident job on the left. The MYS shed had scrapped their last YL power just a few days back.
	Boiler being washed out
	'With pleasure', was the response of the shed foreman, when we seeked the permission to see his shed.
	Message from the MYS shed for all of us.
	Goodbye shed ! The view of the shed from the departing MYS - Arsikere passenger.
