As the hammer falls on the Elphinstone Road station, a rare iron bell from the steam engine era placed under the bridge will be saved and preserved by the Western Railway team. The bridge also has stone plaques and metal plates on the pillars and girders dating back a century, tracing their manufacturing to England. As highlighted by mid-day earlier, these plaques will also be saved.

While the stone plaque reads GIPR, Parel Bridge, 1913, Contractor Bomanji Rustomji, the small metal seals on the girders state — P&W Maclellan Limited Clutha Works GIPR Glasgow 1911, where GIPR stands for the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, now called the Central Railway.
