Steam Train Going Around Corner Slow — Clip Details

Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures a red steam train navigating a corner in Calcutta, India. The small locomotive, marked with the number 782, emits black smoke as it moves through a railway yard. Several men, including the engineer and passengers, are visible on the open platform, dressed in period-appropriate clothing. The scene is framed by a dark border, typical of home movie footage, with visible film grain and color fading. A man in a dark jacket watches from the platform as the train passes, offering a glimpse of mid-century transportation and daily life in India.
