Branching Out in Khandesh

Images of the Pachora Jamner Narrow Gauge line. Opened for traffic up to Pahur in 1918 majorly to serve the Ajanta caves, it was extended upto Jamner in the following year. Since then, this line has not undergone many changes. Many antique things can be traced here. The line travels amid more or less dry areas of Khandesh but the catalyst monsoon brings in thorough changes. The 'PJ' train, as it is affectionately referred by the localites, receives excellent commuter patronage. An effort to capture this PJ territory, mainly during the rains.
