A black and white landscape photograph showing Veyangoda Railway Station in Sri Lanka. The flank of a railway carriage is just visible on the left of the image (the photograph was probably taken by somone stood on the train). Around thirty people are visible on the empty tracks, some handing things to or reaching up towards people aboard the train. This includes women, men and children. A circular tank, buildings and treetops are visible in the background. Original caption: ‘During our stay at Colombo we had a trip up to Kandy the old Capital of Ceylon. Scene at Veyangoda Station en route to Kandy. 7/10/19’.

Veyangoda Station was one of the earliest stations built in Sri Lanka, iin the 1860s, and is still in operation today.
