but mostly working in India.

While working on the Nagpur Railway survey for the Bengal-
Nagpur railway, Frederick Dibblee shooting some cows thinking 
they were bears. This happened near Bilaspur while doing 
this survey. It gives some idea of the group of people who 
travelled with Frederick Dibblee when he was doing his surveys.

Nagpur railway (BNR), at -
