QUOTE: Natives waiting to see the Prince in 1876 END OF QUOTE

A more descriptive caption is required. Not the 'natives', but the lower classes and the oppressed by the local landlord populations who had been liberated by the English rule, waiting to see their liberator.

That's the direct quote from the image. It's certainly not the language we would use today, but it is the language used in 1876, and it is appropriate to quote it. It would be useful to put it into quotation marks, to make this more obvious to readers. I'll do that. Railfan23 (talk) 02:34, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Initial Gauge?

[edit]

The article states that the railway gauge was change to broad gauge, but there is no mention of what it was before. Does anyone know? --Joachim Weiß (talk) 16:02, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. The answer is metre gauge. I'll add that to the article. Railfan23 (talk) 16:08, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
