THE WORLD'S LARGEST traction span running into nearly 129 feet was erected near Sion station in Mumbai in 1925. Now this overhead structure is shortly going to be demolished. Rajendra Aklekar, reports:
This website sets out to capture the flavour of the Railways of the Raj, that giant colossus set up and equipped by the British and founded on the power of steam. We take a look at impressions, reminiscences and memoirs, pictures, extracts from diaries, even that odd letter Aunt Jane wrote telling how she was stranded at Bombay Victoria Terminus station back in the twenties...
