Balaghat-Nainpur-Jabalpur-Chindwara-Nagpur is presently the biggest Narrow Gauge section in India. Five railfans Bose, Sathya, Rakesh Joshi, Abhishek Chanda and Avishek Basu decided to spend few days in this hub. We started from Raipur-Rajim NG then moved to Balaghat and covered Balaghat-Nainpur-Jabalpur-Nagpur. We traveled in Satpura Express from Nainpur-Jabalpur.And the final leg from Jabalpur-Nagpur was done by the overnight Jabalpur-Nagpur passenger in Sleeper class.
