Yes. This, indeed, is S. It has a sharp curved platform with Cavery river bridge on both sides - S is an island with the river Cavery splitting into two branches and the joining again as one at a point called "Sangama".

It is a real challenge to build the second BG line (doubling) with a sharper curve.

This is a BG loco. The Boat Mail in that era must have been MG.

Is this today's Shrirangapattana (with a rare single letter station code - 'S')?

Why did Royapuram platform have such high walls? Do these walls survive even today? How is this view shot (which is the high vantage point in the area) and which side the harbour?

This is the Boat Mail accident of 1928. I dont remember the exact date. There is a chapter on this accident in the book "Southern Railways, 150 Glorious years" by Sri. R.R Bhandari
