Back to the Past: Ferry crossing at Agassaim-Cortalim a video clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF91vL5cKS0 Except there was no Zuari Bridge nor Konkan Railways Trains Our yesterday's experience has brough back son many menories Note: Pax and vehicles used Ferryboats to cross Zuari river until mid 80s As an antigue, I also remember those days where ferryboats had no ramps as they have now. Instead, the crew members, upon reaching the jetty, used to lift the two long platforms using long iron rod/ hook. The two tracks (paltforms) were less than a meter wide each (with no railings), people used to exit first followed by the vehicles. Also, remember, the present sick 'pul' or the bridge took about 15 years to complete? Everytime we travel by ferryboat (Fare 25 paise each way), we exclaimed.. 'Kedna zatolo gai ho pul?' Besides, chunam, kadd'ddam, sontram etc Buses frorm Pilar society, st. Laurence, Marlim, big Qs for both pax and vehicles etc etc Ferryboat pics are agassaim http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk15/3022412175/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk15/3022412509/sizes/l/
