Caption | Class CA locomotive of the East Indian Railway (EIR). Such locomotives had already been built by Neilson & Co. for the EIR since 1895. Between 1901 and 1903, the EIR had 54 identical locomotives built by Hanomag in Hanover. This was, so to speak, the door opener for the German locomotive factories for the Indian market. As the German locomotives were very reliable and cheaper than those built in Great Britain, the EIR and other Indian railroad companies ordered further steam locomotives from Hanomag and other German companies in the following years. |
Caption (German) | Maschine der Baureihe CA der East Indian Railway (EIR). Solche Maschinen wurden bereits ab 1895 von Neilson & Co. für die EIR gebaut. 54 baugleiche Lokomotiven lies die EIR zwischen 1901 und 1903 bei Hanomag in Hannover bauen. Dies war sozusagen der Türöffner für die deutschen Lokomotivfabriken für den indischen Markt. Nachdem die deutschen Exemplare sehr zuverlässig arbeiteten und günstiger waren als die in Großbritannien gebauten, bestellte die EIR und weitere indische Eisenbahngesellschaften in den Folgejahren bei Hanomag und anderen deutschen Firmen weitere Dampflokomotiven |
