Amazing. Karjat ghat section at the time when there were two lines only. Thanks for sharing.

There was time when CR maintained uniform livery all along, even the loco, which look so great.

Thanks for sharing this picture. It seems to have been taken from the balcony of the MHC cabin. The third line was laid to the right of the train, at this location.
