SNEAK PEEK INTO 160 GLORIOUS YEARS OF INDIAN RAILWAYS

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.
