It's dawn at Pilibhit, the sun is just starting to burn through the cloud, and the semaphore signals stand proud as MG Alco YDM-4 unit 6533 arrives with the 4.35am from Mailani (train 52222). Gauge conversion will likely start here within the some days at which time the old semaphores will be swept away, along with much of the quaint building structures, to be replaced by colour lights and new purpose built platforms.
