These photos were again taken in 1909 near Coimbatore on South Indian Railways. Another interesting way of getting the goods train and the passenger train into the station as described in caption under photo 1 which says "A mixed train goods and passengers finds the bank up to Coimbatore too steep, so the passengers are left behind, while the engine No. 133 slowly and with the greatest difficulty drags the 12 goods vehicles into the station a mile away. It later went back for the stranded passengers." I wonder why the preference to the goods over the passengers?
