Byculla railway station

This Locomotive, named Lord Falkland (after Bombay's then governor) was stationed on a grove near Byculla bought by the GIPR from a landlord, William Phipps, at a cost of ₹4000.

Another notable part of the old photos is a bridge on the Parell Rd, on the northern side of the station.

A picture of the station from its western platform (reproduced below) was published in the book 'Lokhandi Rastyanchey Sanchipt Varnan', A translation by Krishnashastri Bhatwadekar.

The incident goes that in 1867, while on an official visit, a shaft of his brougham broke while passing through the then Byculla station's narrow entrance.

Determined to get the repairs done, free of the cost, he wrote a letter to the company's agent (general manager) on 6 March 1867, regarding the same.

The workshops were spread over 18 acres of land, with steam sheds, erecting and fitting shops, metal foundries, sawmills, carriage repairing quarters and wagon building sheds, warehouses, timber preservation cabins, offices, and dwelling spaces.

In the above image taken from about 550m North of the old station's site (from current station's FoB), the Mankeshwar Temple can be seen as the yellow temple. The old Station was located just south of the bridge seen in the picture, west (right) of the temple.
