Another interesting thing I observed late - station name in Urdu! Nowhere in Mumbai would you find that now!

Interesting, OHE masts can be seen but no signs of catenary or insulators. wonder how long the crowd must have been made to wait for the electric train.

Only 2 hours and 45 minutes run then!

Interesting to see the sign read "KURLA" and not "COORLA" which gave the station its code - CLA.

The wordings in the ad perfectly portray the great pride GIPR used to take in it's Queen!
