Apparently this engine was also fitted with some kind of early version of stealth technology,because it's never been mentioned in any source before. I read any source I can find,in print and on line,about advanced concepts in railroad technology,including designs for modern steam locomotives and the use of Nuclear power in railroad applications(proposals but never a prototype) and what you are stating has never been documented anywhere. <br /> Firstly,in the time frame you refer to the railways of India were nationalised assets. There is no way that a project like this would happen without heavy involvement of the Indian government. They were in fact a basically socialist economy at the time. <br /> India has a large steel industry. <br /> Most of the major railways in the country are broadgauged. <br /> The loading gauge the lines are built to would not allow full sized American steam. <br /> Not only would you have lay new track,and redo the roadbed,you would need to change all the clearances. <br /> It would be easy for even a layperson such as myself to tear your "engineering" claims to shreds,but I won't waste my time. <br />I suggest you come up with a more clever hoax,and find another board to post it on. <br />
