This, I presume, is facing the Hubli direction, with the line to Salem diverging on the extreme right?

Oh. My. God. Absolutely unrecognisable as the place it is today. Many thanks for sharing these rare vistas of an era that I was not alive to witness.

Just can't believe this is YPR. The station used to be like this till early 1990's. Bangalore used to be so nice during those days

One lucky lady to get free make up on Republic (Chennai, 2009-01-26) and Independence day (Howrah, 2009-08-15).

Regarding Aseem's comment: Khatauli and Daurala are stations on the Saharanpur-Meerut-Delhi section. These sugar factories are close to this line. These NG lines were basically for carrying sugarcane from the fields to the factories, and may not have been very close to the regular lines. Anyway, they were not near the Shamli line. One of these lines could be seen from the regular trains near Pabli Khas in the 1970s.

I understand another narrow gauge engine is also called Miss Muffet which has been stabled at Varanasi.
