This dilapidated pier at the defunct Alleppey Port had a railway system running through it. The port stopped functioning during the early 1970's and so did the railways. Alleppey, 2004-08-04. By Jimmy Jose.
Three tracks come out from the pier. They diverge to many more here, going to the town and nearby warehouses. The centre track was used to transport empty trolleys while the other two on the sides were used to transport laden ones. Alleppey, 2004-08-01.
The tracks lay burried under roads. The building on the left was dock transport managers office. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
The rail system was complete with tracks switching between each other. The track that emerged on the right proceeded towards town. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
When did this switch move last time? Perhaps four decades ago. Beautifull flowers grow besides it, like flowers near a tomb. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
Unearthed sleepers wait to be disposed. The defunct port is now \"run\" by a lone staff who sits in this office. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
This is a sort of siding, filled with rails. The steam power that was once used here was taken care at the dock workshop seen in the far end. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
Remains of wagons (trolleys) can are heaped at a room next to the pier. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
The light house here is still operational, but it's light no longer guide ships. The new BG line passes just in front of it. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
The new line also passes next to the Agent's office, which was the place where all the port's revenue was handled. It is now SBI's office. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
The BG line pass through a bridge called \"Port Channel\". By the time the BG line came to Alleppey, the port had disappeared. Alleppey, 2004-08-01. By Jimmy Jose.
