Electrification of Railway. You can see the position of semaphores(mounted on the OHE pole). These carried 1500 V DC current. You can also see the unsung heros of IR on the left toiling hard with whatever machinery they had. Approx date should be around 1925. (Ranjeet Ramaswamy Iyer)

The semaphors are not mounted on the OHE pole.. look closely. However, the optical illusion is almost perfect. (Bodhi)
