This, I presume, is facing the Hubli direction, with the line to Salem diverging on the extreme right?

Yes, I think that is correct, looking north-west. It was a long time ago and my first visit to India so recollections are hazy.I was there a couple of years ago and found it almost impossible to figure out where the old steam locoshed had stood. In those days passenger trains were of little importance there but have a much higher profile today.

Mick has excellent collection of vintage pictures. BTW, Mick see if you can put any pictures of the Kanpur Anwarganj-Lucknow-Gorakhpur route when it was MG. I would really cherish them. The time I was 6-7 years and gained my senses, it was all in vanishing stage.

If I had a time machine, I would go back to the 70-80s era and never come back!

Just can't believe this is YPR. The station used to be like this till early 1990's. Bangalore used to be so nice during those days
