Bir which used to see superfast trains passing through until few years ago,now resembles a quiet little station bereft of trains. Khandwa-Bir shuttle at Bir station. Bir lies on the erstwhile Bhusawal-Itarsi line which ceased to exist in 2004.The consist is of 5 coaches & the loco is ET-WAG/5.There is no signalling system present between Talvadiya & Bir.The train has permanent caution orders of 15kmph at every unmanned level crossing on the route.The MPS is around 50kmph or so.

Have passed through Harsud and Bir numerous times on trains such as HWH-CSTM Mail, Punjab Mail, Kashi Exp., Patna-Kurla superfast, etc. Never realized that, one day, Harsud would cease to exist!

Why has the route been diverted? Due to some dam which is being constructed or has been built recently?
