The image showcases an Express Train from the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway, a vital transportation link during that era. The creator of this remarkable snapshot remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. The train stands proudly against the backdrop of a vibrant Indian cityscape, exuding power and elegance. Its steam locomotive emits billows of smoke as it prepares for another journey through Hindoostan's vast countryside. Passengers eagerly await their departure inside the well-appointed compartments. This photograph is extracted from "The Wonder Book of Railways" edited by Harry Golding, which offers readers a glimpse into Britain's rich railway heritage. Published by Ward, Lock & Co. , Limited in London and Melbourne in 1930, this book served as a testament to the enduring fascination with trains during that time.
