The Immaculate Hercules
The Villupuram Junction Accident Relief Train (Scale 'A') included the steam crane TSC 30011 'Hercules'. The cast maker's plate confirmed that it was constructed in 1935 for the South Indian Railway by Cowans Sheldon & Co. Ltd., Carlisle, England. Contract No.6882 - 5795. Gauge Conversion (GC) would see the crane moved to Madurai further south and when eventually withdrawn, it was taken to the Regional Railway Museum, Perambur, Chennai.
