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.

Very nice album. The NG/MG charm can never ever be matched or replaced. It is another world all-together. Good effort!
