INTRODUCTION

These pages detail my third trip to India in the 1980s. I have chosen to start with this trip as it included a significant amount of narrow gauge activity and covered 5 different rail regions.
The photos will be changed in September, so re visit the site, the intention is to rotate reports and photos every three to four months. If you wish to copy the photos for your own use go ahead, but if you wish to use them to illustrate another page seek my permission first!
