You can view the photos i have taken on the trip at the above link.

Very well captured sequence of turn table. I felt as if I was witnessing it live! What a pity, this heritage will soon be lost.

In the 1944 timetable this is listed as Sagara.

The cow catcher if from an old steam loco?

This station is also referred to as the 'Ram Manohar Lohia' railway station by the local populace.

And yes, a message 'Please purchase platform ticket before entering the platform' written near the booking counter, was amusing indeed!

Beautful! Another quaint ol' line lost to BG in a few years :(

Brilliant set of pictures. This railbus may vanish soon, as I heard of starting of full-fledged BG services from Talguppa soon.

Jimmy, Shimoga was a very important town in the old days. Shimoga, Sagar and Kumta in this area were also part of a forest area. I am not entirely sure if Shimoga too belonged to Mysore presidency in the old days, will have to check.

One of the best photo series from you Bharath. Keep it up! =) The charm of rural India is very much present.

Any photos of Talguppa station building, it's surroundings etc available? Is there any remains of the old goods yard there?
