Session 2 2016 - Tracing Roots of Indian Railway by Rajendra Aklekar

Tracing the original blueprint of the lines is like looking for a hidden treasure; the pleasure is indescribable!- Halt Station India

The second session of the course offered a great opportunity to listen to Rajendra Aklekar, the author of Halt Station India. He spoke about the beginning of Railways in India, and how Mumbai was a pioneer in establishing the network. The first hand account of his explorations and adventures, tracing the roots of the first railways, was exciting and very informative.
