I bet this is Sengottai. The hillock behind is the clue. Photo of the same hillock is here:

Only two responses so far and those are on the opposite side as well!

A HINT: This is a zonal headquarter and this railway at that time was comprising mostly of meter gauge.

Is this YPR??????

St. Thomas Mount in Chennai? YPR is not a zonal HQ

Guwahati?

Yes, it is Gauhati as it was known then. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Wow! That was one of the wildest of guesses! Yet to see the place...

Actually the "Assam Type" house behind the tender is a dead giveaway. And the hills in the background suggests it is the Gauhati Goods Yard or New Guwahati as it is known today. Pity I only saw the photo today!
