Framed Print of Two-storied third-class carriage on the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Two-storied third-class carriage on the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway, 1864. [This type of carriage]...was first tried in the early part of the year 1862, and has been found to be most popular with the natives as well as economical for the company. These carriages, indeed, are usually better filled than the ordinary ones, for the passengers like them better. They are constructed each to carry 120 passengers - viz. 70 in the lower story and 50 in the upper; whilst the ordinary carriages only carry 70 persons each. It may be observed, therefore, that seven of the two-storied carriages will convey the same number of passengers as twelve of the ordinary kind. The importance of this will be understood by railway managers, especially for the traffic of a country where large crowds have to be conveyed at once, and where more than 95 per cent of the travellers are third-class passengers...The roof of the first story serves as the floor of the second...[The roof of the second] is but a light cover placed over the heads of the upper-story passengers to protect them from sun and rain. These carriages were...designed by Mr. G. N. Anderson, the company's locomotive and carriage superintendent'. From Illustrated London News, 1864.
