Thanks a lot Bharath for this one - this location is special for me. I have spent innumerable evenings at this spot watching trains (and developing life-long love for them) long before I knew what a "railfan" and IRFCA is.

Taken from south side. PF-1 and 2 under canopy, train on PF-4 and the turnout leads to PF-5, exactly as it is today too!

To the right we can see the OLDEST Vasai Creek Bridge, no signs of it remain today! :(

The curve reminds me of Sewagram for some reason. Thanks for these pics, Ujjwal!

AC II class?

I do not think the TN used to skip Nagpur at any point since its introduction. Would it be possible to provide some schedules that prove this?

Wow! Marine Lines had covered canopy roof too! How I wish they would have retained it like Bandra, Dadar and Byculla.

Correction - this is Bandra station (station code BA) and NOT Bandra Terminus (station code BDTS) which was built only recently and is devoid of any aesthetic appeal.

The picture is surely not Parel Workshop. The loco is metre gauge P class 0-4-4T built by Nasmyth, Wilson and Co, Manchester in 1873. The heightened doors leading to the running plate was specialty of this loco

Looks so serene! This seems to have been taken from Bhayander "Chowpatti". Sadly, a photo from same location today will show a clutter of this bridge, and two more RCC girder bridges just in front of it.
