Doc, to me it looks more like PF-1 of mainline terminus because the FOB seen in the background exists even now between BCT and Mahalakshmi stations, so this photo was taken facing north. If that is the case, PF-1 of BCT local would be at the far left in this photo.

Sir, myself and Kaushik Dharwadkar, with due permission from port authority, had gone once last year to trace remains of this station, if any. Sadly, a container terminal has come up where the platform is seen here and the far end seen here now houses the Passenger Cruise Terminal (which is just a HUGE waiting area with some immigration counters, all rarely or never used).

Could be PF 1 of the local side, what used to be called Bellasis Road station.

This must be a Post - Independence picture, as WPs were introduced only after World War II.

There appears to be only 1 FOB to go GIPR side. Folks must have considered it an extravagance back then.
