Diesel's Rule!! Well the Marrikuppam passenger pulls into Oorgaum station and recieves a standing pole oation on its arrival.This is the BWT-KGF line mainly built to facilitate the mines of the yesteryears.Several services run right from morning till evening to facilitate the livelyhood of people after closure of the mines.
To render some gyan. This is perphaps the only railwayline running on private land(BGML)for a 17km stretch.<colinpete>cannon s5

Rightly said by apurva,this line follows only a "one train on line system"

I think another instance of railways using private land is Calcutta circular railway, where the ownership of one particular stretch of the land vests with Calcutta Port Commissioners.
