Wish SBC had stayed this way. The place is a total wreck right now

Yes, I think that is correct, looking north-west. It was a long time ago and my first visit to India so recollections are hazy.I was there a couple of years ago and found it almost impossible to figure out where the old steam locoshed had stood. In those days passenger trains were of little importance there but have a much higher profile today.

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
