  • Hello Samad ! What a beautiful album of trains and engines ! Every boy in the olden days ( I am 67 ) has had romantic visions of railroads and had derived immense pleasure travelling in them. I still get a twinge of nostalgia when ever I hear the whistle of a steam engine ! I was in Lahore recently to witness the one day cricket match and soaked into Lahore architecture. My first trip to Karachi was in 1960. I hope your wish to travel in India comes true soon. If you ever come this side, do let me know. Thank you for the kind words of appreciation of Hampi album. All the best to your family and you. Suresh, Madras, India

  • Hello, What a magnificent album and a great tribute to you. I hope you enjoy your retirement. It appears that you have had a very wonderful career. I enjoyed looking at the trains, stations and the countryside. All I know of your area, is what I see on Television. Thank you for sharing your world. Sharon

  • Hello again Samad, you have taken my dream away, I always wanted to be a train driver, or work on the railway. I loved those steam trains, such power and grace as you could hear the wheels like music. All I got was a model train, which I built in the loft of our house, the lads have them now. I might get another one, and build it for when I get a grandson. AH AH. Bye Samad. Ray (UK)

  • Hi Samad! Thanks for your comments on my orchid album. Wow! Long 35years with the railway department is really an achievement!! I love traveling by train and still prefer trains rather than airplane. During my trip to my native place Kerala, I take train from Madras. It’s around 12hours from Madras to my place. I must confess that I hate airplanes. I enjoy the shaky ride in a train rather than the fast n quite ride in an airplane…lol. Well…pls. accept my heartiest appreciation for bringing out this wonderful album of old trains. It was really an experience to go thru each picture. Thanks for sharing. May Allah bless you always... Cheers! Sanjay
