Talk about Rail Safety!! Something the Minister for Railways should see before making tall claims!!

Why was it abandoned?

Naveen, a fantastic picture. Use a smaller grained film to get better scans.

I remember the Cholan departing from Egmore in the 80's. I loved all your pictures. Being from Madras I spent a lot of time during vacations watching trains on this very line from when they were all MG.

Wow - really large windows! The cab must provide a great view.

This is magnificant WCM1 Jumbo. I am a great fan of this loco. I am thankful Vijay BAlasubramanian for this beautiful photograph. The great season for travel Bhore ghat is Aug-sept when one can see the loco cutting the curtain of clouds. If its DQ its too beautiful.

Is this crowd a normal day-to-day scene or was the overcrowding due to some event?

nice shot,sir.was the train electric hauled?
