Its parts were similar to BESA heavy goods [[2-8-0]]s. They worked on the [[Chakradharpur]]-[[Jharsuguda]] section coupled to each other. After electrification they became obsolete. In the end, they were stationed at [[Kharagpur]] workshops. They were the first successful class of [[Garratt]]s.&lt;ref name=Sundar.Brinkster&gt;{{cite web|title=HSG |url=http://sundar.brinkster.net/Garratt.htm |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023060832/http://sundar.brinkster.net/Garratt.htm |archivedate=2013-10-23 }}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Technical specifications==<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | Boiler || {{convert|7|ft|1+13/16|in|m|2|abbr=on}} diameter<br /> |-<br /> | Maximum Train Load || {{convert|2550|LT}}<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Indian Railways]]<br /> *[[History of rail transport in India]]<br /> *[[Locomotives of India]]<br /> *[[Rail transport in India]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:5 ft 6 in gauge locomotives]]<br /> [[Category:Beyer, Peacock locomotives]]<br /> [[Category:Steam locomotives of India]]<br /> [[Category:Garratt locomotives]]<br /> [[Category:2-8-0+0-8-2 locomotives]]<br /> [[Category:Scrapped locomotives]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{steam-loco-stub}}<br /> {{India-rail-transport-stub}}</div>
