Memories of days gone by : Favre Leuba watches, Shangrila biscuits and Capstan cigarettes. The movie Bhai Bhai starring Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar, Nimmi and Nirupa Roy was released in 1956, so obviously all these photos are from that time period.

This is just to keep the wires for semaphore signalling in proper tension. The counterweight for semaphore arm to put the signal in danger in case of wire break is a part of semaphore only. Posted by Harsh Vardhan on 2009 Dec 18 03:33:35 +0000 |

The reason that the line could be hugging the coast line in those days was that the Backbay Reclamation work had not commenced. The line from Churchgate to Colaba was closed to enable the grand reclamation project to be carried out. The rest is history. Posted by S. Srinivas on 2009 Dec 17 16:49:54 +0000 |

Such counterweights are normally used for semaphore signals to put the signal to danger in case the wire breaks but this seems to be a temperature compensator and keeps the wires in proper tension. Posted by Khalid Kagzi on 2009 Dec 17 13:41:55 +0000 |
The dressing style of the people, the car models (vintage we call them today), all predate the previous photo by at least 2 - 3 decades. This must be from the 1920s.
