Three on Satpura Narrow Gauge Spree

Set of images captured during the journey on Jabalpur-Nainpur-Balaghat Narrow gauge section of erstwhile Satpura lines and currently the narrow gauge hub of Indian Railways. Set also includes some images captured during outward & inward journeys. Three participants in the trip were Gaurav Bhandari, Rahul Sharma & Sanket Gosavi. Core journey was done on 12th September 20011 when monsoon adorned the beauty of Satpura hills which looked like a green Saree clad bride.

Apart from exploring the Jabalpur-Balaghat narrow gauge route, travel in the First class of legendary Satpura express, visiting Asia's busiest Narrow gauge station - Nainpur & the alluring Ghat section were the things that captivated the railfans who did not mind traveling 2000 kms to cover the mesmerising narrow gauge treasure of 187 kms.
