Posted by Milind on 2009 Dec 03 14:50:25 +0000

I think this was taken in the year 1957.

Which railway is this? WR or CR?

Posted by Binai Sankar on 2009 Dec 03 14:59:20 +0000

Its WR.

This is the Mumbai Central Emu loco shed and the year was 1925. I have a pic of it in Flickr too.

I hope the motormen of yesteryears didnt feel suffocated in the cabs of those in middleones!

I would like to name the EMUs 2,3 and 4 from the left as "TomCat EMUs"

@ Arzan - the year cannot be '25 - the EMU's on the extreme left and right were introduced much later - closer to the 60s if I'm not mistaken.

I am old enough to remember the "older" EMUs. I think the newer ones must have introduced somewhere in the early 60s. We used to actually give the older ones a miss to travel in the newer trains.

I remember traveling in the EMUs shown in the middle. The doors had extended footholds.

note the MU cables on the newer rakes...MU cables on EMUs are a thing of the past now in WR and CR.

Is the first and the last rake manufactured by the same company? They look different.
