Well, at least one thing is BG ready - the garbage on the tracks!

End of an era. Everything in this pic is nostalgic. Look at the single headlamp on YDM 4

There must have been similar rush at Punalur on the inauguration of this line, on 4 July 1904. The first train ran from Quilon to Punalur only

But glad to see the public give a respectful farewell to the system

We can all thank the great Jaffer Sharieff for mass-launching the unigauge program and robbing us MG lovers of great sections one-by-one.

I traveled in the route which was my first trip and enjoyed its final run. The loco was 6401. I traveled on 19th afternoon.

Nice picture, and sad to see another lovely MG line go. But just look at all that trash - goes to show that high levels of literacy & education need not lead to greater civic sense!
