To the right we can see the OLDEST Vasai Creek Bridge, no signs of it remain today! :(

AC II class?

Wow! Marine Lines had covered canopy roof too! How I wish they would have retained it like Bandra, Dadar and Byculla.

Correction - this is Bandra station (station code BA) and NOT Bandra Terminus (station code BDTS) which was built only recently and is devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

The picture is surely not Parel Workshop. The loco is metre gauge P class 0-4-4T built by Nasmyth, Wilson and Co, Manchester in 1873. The heightened doors leading to the running plate was specialty of this loco

Looks so serene! This seems to have been taken from Bhayander "Chowpatti". Sadly, a photo from same location today will show a clutter of this bridge, and two more RCC girder bridges just in front of it.

People hanging out of the doors then too! So it seems the crowd in Mumbai was always one step ahead of the available capacity!

What a clean train!

Out of sheer curiosity, I googled for "Ketco", and got one yellow pages link : http://www.dazzleyellowpages.com/Listing-Details/?40628/Electric

Clear off the vendors, and BDTS looks exactly the same even today.
