Locomotives were introduced for underground operation in coal mines in the early 1930s but their use did not become widespread until after the 1939-1945 war. The first diesel powered locomotive with a flameproof engine was introduced in 1939 following its approval by the Mines Department in conjunction with the Safety in Mines Research Board.
