Pic#16: Coasting begins hereon at distance 782/27.

Pic#17: The down line gives us a glimpse as it goes over a bridge.

Pic#18: Single yellow signals make sure the 2616 restricts its speed through the line.

Pic#19: We near our final landmark in these ghats: The Midghat cabin. Once again built on a height to allow easy spotting of approaching trains on both lines. Note the old building architecture to allow easy run off for rain water. Also note the distance

Pic#20: This is the Midghat tunnel right next to the cabin. After this the down line climbs good amount of gradient (towards ET direction) and our up line goes down.

Pic#21: Speed limits /Whistle boards and curve information are all abundant in this area due to obvious reasons.

Pic#22: We have finally crossed the hills and approach Budni. At BNI, a WAG7-lead BCNA rake waits for the WAG5 twins assistance.

Pic#23: A zoom in to the Budni tunnel as we pick up speed from the station and head towards Hoshangabad.

Pic#24: The Narmada River Bridge. This bridge on the up line does not have a girder on it while the older one on the down line has it.(Inset: The river board just before the bridge)

Pic#25: We reach our destination and are greeted by the perfect gift. An LGD WAG9 waiting on the HBD loop.

Pic#26: A WAG7 approaches from behind on the main line and stops besides the G9.

Pic#27: As we started our walk back to the platform a JHS WAP4 22267 with Gondwana Express stormed its way through HBD.

Pic# 28: WDM 2 # 16779 of ET came in with a passenger into HBD from the ET side.

Pic#29: WAM 4 6P #21340 of Bhusaval rushed through at 90+ through HBD and rattled the entire station! We can’t imagine the scene with a WAP5 storming this place at 110+ KMPH!!!

Pic#30: The Narmada River Bridge on the down line. Lot of information boards are placed here included one saying "Photography prohibited!"
