		Due to individual practices followed by different railways and the local tastes the various railway systems adopted to their own configuration of engines and this led to considerable delay in supply of these engines from various manufacturers in England.
		At the beginning of the 20th century, the Indian railway system was perhaps using the most numerous types of locomotives anywhere in the world and an urgent need was felt once again to go in for some standardisation in the designs of steam locomotives.

	Series of Bombs Explode on 7 Trains in India, Killing Scores - New York Times
		MUMBAI, India, July 11 — A string of powerful bombs ripped through a vital spine of Mumbai’s commuter train system during the evening rush hour on Tuesday, killing nearly 200 people, bringing India’s financial capital to a standstill and resurrecting memories of bloodbaths past.
		The bombs struck at least seven trains along the western railway line of the city’s north-south commuter train system between 6 and 7 p.m., virtually within minutes of one another.
		With much still unknown about Tuesday’s blasts and India’s own long history as a victim of terrorist violence — much of it predating the rise of global Islamist terrorist networks — it was impossible to draw immediate conclusions about the forces behind the attacks.
