What is "Jaam Patti"?

loco bears the legend of some Rajkot based training center

I can see my dear WDM-4 sitting in the background in dilapidated consition!

A million Thanks for sharing this picture to Chris Ward and to David.
I am trying to figure out how the Overhead wires of the tram and the OHE crossed each other! Some workaround must have been done. Can anyone try to decipher how this could have been achieved?

This phot would have been taken in 1940. This I presume based on the ad seen here near the tram for the tamil movie release of Kaalamegam, which indeed was released in 1940.

I think Harish is right. The building dome visible on the top left must be Hotel Picnic. I also have a feeling the picture was taken at a height from the stairs of some FOB. It is not clear from the picture how the overhead wires of the Tram and the train crossed each other ! The "T" indicates the train is going towards Tambaram.

I think this location is just opposite to the Chennai Corporate (Rippon) building. The huge, white wall on the right side is the old Central Jail. Also visible is the mosque which is adjecent to the now extended BG platform of Park. The train is actually going towards Egmore and the Tram is heading to Chintadripet. This place now has a FOB.

I think, this location is near Chennai Egmore, facing chennai-park, and this level gate, is today's ROB outside Chennai-Egmore, at Park end... I may also be corrected.

Wow! A very special picture!

O..OK... I failed to observe the waiting vehicle at level gate. Wowww, is that a tram ??? And the lines crossing rly lines at 90 degres??? This is indeed a treasure trove...
