  5. 6529_6MHC_6march04.jpg

The train speeds through the Monkey Hill yard. The grand Duke's Nose rules the landscape. Visible on the hill on the left is the toll and non-toll road (white line) towards Khandala - this used to be the railway line when the reversing station was operational till the late 1920s. The present day railway line is routed via the right face of the sharp hill in front. Through tunnels the railway would emerge at Khandala that is located on the left - it the point where the white line of the road would reach top level of the surrounding hills. The Rajmachi point is located below the tower in front of the Duke's nose. The Reversing Station is located behind the small hill to the right of the railway line. The Mumbai side of the toll and non-toll roads is located in the white patch near the reversing station. Near Monkey Hill in the Bhore ghats, 2004-03-06. By Apurva (iti@vsnl.com).
