Yes, the location does seem to be parsik tunnel. Can anyone please tell me what is written on the destination board? I am sounding repetitive, but looking at the pic I just cant stop wondering that if we could have such a fantastic build quality decades ago, why not now?

I see Budhgaon in the TT. There is an engineering college there today.

So, two different trains ran for the races? One with ONLY Ist Class and other with ONLY II Class? The timings seem to suggest so!

Interesting to note that the Quilon Mail ran non-stop from Punalur to Sengottai.
