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.

@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.
