The first PCO was introduced by telecom officer Mr. R.L Dube; thereon various phone booths were installed in different parts of India. The PCOs were of two types - one was manually operated and the other was operated through inserting a coin in the phone box. Such telephones are still operational at railway stations, bus stops and old shops and villages across the country. #oldtelephones #oldtelephones #dialtelephone #telephonebooth #interestingfacts Green Lamp, Pay Phone, Telephone, Landline Phone, Railway, Graham Bell, Alexander Graham, Instruction, Common People

Sketch of an early Indian Railway station: In the early days of Railways, the typical Indian railway station had been a bedlam of noise and movement that reached its peak as trains drew in or prepared to pull out. The most distinctive features of an Indian Railway station were its vendors selling tea, water, fruits, toys, peanuts and betel nuts, each with their own identifying cry.
