One can see such trunks with the Army folks on transfer taking the house hold items in many such trunks. Generally, painted black.

Hey - This looks exactly like the holdall and suitcase that I used in my college days from 1967 to 1972 !! Except that I did not have my name stenciled on the holdall !!

Amazing that you still have the holdall. I think we threw out ours long ago.

Many thanks, I remember when we were kids, mom used to stuff blankets, bedsheets, pillows and what not for the five member trip. At that time the berths used to be wooden that too gaps between the adjacent wooden planks. some people use to just open the holdall and make it a nice bed.

Also note that the orientation of loco has changed , it was initially Short hood facing Pune side and now it is short hood
facing CST.
