Departure of the Duke of Edinburgh from the Parell Station of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway, 1870. The prince ...was accompanied by Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, the Governor of Bombay. Our Illustration shows the scene at their departure from the Parell station, near the city of Bombay, on the 16th March. The Prince is standing near the carriages, with the Governor on his left hand, and Mr. Conder, the general manager of the railway, on his right. Colonel Fraser, of the 11th Hussars, stands behind them. To the left of the group are the carriages and escort from Government House ; and in the background are the workshops of the Bombay and Baroda line, with Kumballa Hill in the distance. His Royal Highness and the Governor, on arriving in the hills, were entertained by Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy at his bungalow, or villa, near Khundalla. The Prince, on his return to Bombay, travelled down the Bhore Ghaut, a distance of seventeen miles, upon an open truck or trolly, driven by Mr. Manning, chief engineer of the railway, so as to get an uninterrupted view of the stupendous scenery of this line. We are obliged to Mr. C. W. Hawkins, the locomotive superintendent, for the photograph from which our Engraving is made. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
