Wonderful picture. I got chance to see this bridge from Agra fort in 1988.

Colaba station is dismantalled in 1930

have they demolished the building at colaba

words fail to describe the feelings of my heart at this rare collection...good work.

kp it up..!!!

Gomti and Vikramshila were the first two non-Rajdhani trains to have non-stop runs between Delhi and Kanpur. Within a year, Vikramshila acquired halts at Aligarh and Tundla. Around this time, the Sonbhadra Exp. was introduced between New Delhi and Patna. So, for a while, Jayanti Janata / Sonbhadra / Vikramshila used to share slots in the NDLS-ALD and MGS-PNBE sections.

yes Gomti used to be Shatabdi then! Seems VikramShila used to be non-stop as well.

When was the railway line realignment done? India Gate was built in 1921 and New Delhi established as capital in 1931. So for some years, trains must have been actually passing next to the monument. Also the old Nizamuddin station seems to be on the road connecting Humayun's tomb with Safdarjang's tomb (Lodhi Road). Any signs of its remains today?

Wow....rail passing through present India gate....are the Okhla, Tuglakabad stations same or realigned? many thanks for this one. Do you have something on the Pune - Miraj section for the same period?

Many thanks, Harsh. Very helpful.
Two comments - my recollection is of the reversing triangle being slightly to the right on the map - on the other side of Victoria Road between the BG line and the siding going off to the south. Second, surely the junctions at Ghosipura and with the Bhind line are shown incorrectly. As per the map a train going Gwalior to Sabalgarh would have to reverse twice!

Tinsukia Mail is the predecessor of the Brahmaputra Mail. Can't remember when the renaming happened. Please do post scans from your TTs.
