Coaches were assembled by riveting the sheet metal before the advent of reliable welding practices.

Another gem!

Excellent! It is interesting to see how the coaches were stacked sans the wheels for shipping.

Very nice set of pictures that gives all railfans a chance to see the early era of Indian Railways. Thanks to all for bringing it up at IRFCA.

note the MU cables on the newer rakes...MU cables on EMUs are a thing of the past now in WR and CR.

even though the description says it to be 1940s, i have my doubts.. this could well be late 60s or early 70s.. (old timers correct me if wrong)

I remember traveling in the EMUs shown in the middle. The doors had extended footholds.

I am old enough to remember the "older" EMUs. I think the newer ones must have introduced somewhere in the early 60s. We used to actually give the older ones a miss to travel in the newer trains.
