Agra Cantt. station as seen in 1925(probably platform No. 2/3 looking west).
I liked the lamp post

The "Grand Ol' Lady" has been worked upon for restoration..noticeable is the fact, that the circular protholes have become squares with rounded edges!!! And ofcourse, she' also been given a good new all-round paint job!!

This Loco was used in the Bardhhaman JN - Katwa JN Narrow Gauge Line (2'6"), instead of the mentioned Bandel - Katwa Line (:-))

Visit to the quarry - 2, Doraha - Nalagarh Railway construction
Fascinating picture. The narrow gauge loco looks like one of a number of sentinel verticla boiler machines (about 70 in total) supplied to India in the 1920s for contracting work. Many of these were recorded as going to the Sutlej Valley Project or Sutlej Sukkum Canal. Might the work shown br connected with this?

This certainly looks like one of the Neral Matheran railcars. Probably quite early as it carries number 2, rather than an IR number.
It looks like the one which is now in the NRM sadly in deteriorating condition.

Another early picture of the Matheran line. Note the water tank wagon behind the loco, and the closed (first class?) coach at the rear.
