Was this Postal Special a precursor of the Bombay Madras Mail? Interesting to note that only 100 years ago, wild elephants used to roam within Madras city. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Nov 19 07:27:18 +0000 |

It must have taken more than 48 hours to cover the distance of 1662 km (1032 miles) 100 years ago. Also, compare the vast open spaces outside Madras Central station to the chaos today. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Nov 19 07:24:20 +0000 |

Bombay Central station in its steam days had huge funnels near the ends of the tracks to collect the smoke and throw it out. Did Madras Central not have a similar feature? Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2009 Nov 19 07:20:01 +0000 |

Nice photo, Jimmy. Why do we have one steel girder in between? Can't this bridge be PSC throughout... Posted by Aravind S on 2009 Nov 19 05:18:05 +0000 |
1) This must have been a Passenger to Waltair, which is present in the 1944 Bradshaw too.
2) The Calcutta Mail left MAS at 6 pm, and even then belonged to BNR (SER today). It was with the SR for quite a long time in between.
3) George Fernandes, someone beat you by organizing a strike 65 years before you did.
