Biswakarma graduated to serve as a foreman and a shunter before being appointed as a pilot, a role that he says is his favourite. "I really love our steam locos. I love them more than our diesel engines" Biswakarma says. "I get very happy when someone books a charter (the pre-booked steam engines that run the whole distance from NJP station in the plains to Darjeeling). I clean the engine with my own hands and adorn it with different items I have bought with my own money."
