Sneak peek into 160 glorious years of Indian Railways
SNEAK PEEK INTO 160 GLORIOUS YEARS OF INDIAN RAILWAYS
By Amarnath Tewary The Pioneer http://www.dailypioneer.com Wednesday, October 9, 2013 East Central Railway (ECR) organised a photo*exhibition at Bharatiya Nritya Kala Mandir to mark 160 years of Indian Railways and 11 years of ECR. The photo exhibition attracted a huge turnout from all over the country. It was a rare of its kind exhibition with each of the 250 photographs telling a tale of rich tradition of the Indian Railways. Over 20,000 people visited the exhibition which concluded on Monday. The photographs from the year 1853 to the present day, including ECR’s 11 years of achievement and of important of projects undertaken by the zonal section were displayed. The photographs displayed that the Indian Railways had enrolled elephants to use them in place of locomotives to push the coach or to take it in the yard for shunting purposes. One of the rare photographs shows the first ever journey of Indian Railways from Bori Bandar in Mumbai to Thane. Besides, the photographs, depicting the Refugee Special Train of partition era in 1947, drew special attention. And, for the children a Circular Train’s photograph was the centre of attraction.
