A long stop at Phursungi (FSG). As the hot sun rises, the Pune WDM 3A # 18754R of our 1609A passenger is halted 22 Kms out of home for a double crossing – first the Karnataka Sampark Kranti and a then a BTPN rake. The loop line lacks a platform, while the main line, with the platform, is being kept free for the other trains to cross at speed.
