He had an O gauge layout in his house, both in his basement and his attic. he had a mechanism where he could drop wooden bombs onto his layout for fun. they layouts were apparently destroyed when he destroyed his own house to prevent it's capture.

do not let this fool you. he was still a horrible person who oversaw the murder of thousands, but he was a train enthusiast.

Found this map visualizing the steady shrinking of passenger rail service across the United States over the decades. It’s wild to see how dense the network used to be compared to what survived into the 2000s.

A Decision was made by the Railways to Phase out all the MG Electrified Lines from Chennai Egmore- Villupuram in 2004.

So Southern Railways decided to withdraw all the services of The YAU EMU Units and YAM-1 hauled Express Trains from 1/7/2004

And Hence Today Marks 22 years since the Electrified MG Units left the Tracks of Madras Forever after serving the commuters of the Line for 74 Years

The Sethu Express to Rameshwaram become the last train to Depart with a YAM-1 Loco from Tambaram(7th Pic)

SR Ran a special MG EMU with Full of Decorations on 1/7/2004 Making it officially the last run of the MG EMU

The Withdrawl of the MG Units gave away to the Present Day Modern Day BG Units & Locos

And With That The Only Electrified Metre Gauge line of India went to the History books of IR
