The virgin lands beneath Nandigram exp

This album contains Photos taken on a trip between Jalna and Sewagram via Nanded. The CSTM-Nanded Nandigram Express was extended till Nagpur just 12 days back on 20.03.07. The Mudkhed-Kinvat section was fresh after its Guage conversion from MG to BG. Adilabad-Pimpalkhuti-Wani section had never seen passenger traffic and Wani-Majri was reopened for passenger traffic after some 10-20 years. All this made a perfect backdrop to an exciting journey on the virgin lands on 2nd April 2007! Akash Bang
