Another interesting thing I observed late - station name in Urdu! Nowhere in Mumbai would you find that now!

Interesting, OHE masts can be seen but no signs of catenary or insulators. wonder how long the crowd must have been made to wait for the electric train.

Only 2 hours and 45 minutes run then!

@Karan - In 1925, The 1st line to be electrified on CR was the CST-Kurla (BombayVT-Coorla) harbour lines in 1925. After that, main lines were electrified.
