The first time I saw TPJ was way back in 1972 - we were visiting some relatives. What an incredible MG junction it was! Four MG lines to Dindigul, Vriddhachalam, Thanjavur, Karaikkudi and just one BG line to Karur. And a shed for locos as well - at Golden Rock. And it had those overhead pipes for filling water - can be seen in the picture as well.
