FATHER LOCO PILOT&DAUGHTER STATION MASTER:,When it comes to women’s career paths, it is true that dad’s influence plays an increasingly weighty role. The case of P.G. Asha, station master at the newly built Puthunagaram Railway Station in Palakkad, was no different. It was the inspiration from her loco-pilot father, P.S. Gopalakrishnan, that prompted Ms. Asha to reject the probationary officer’s post offered by a bank and don the mantle of station master.
