  5. OldCatchsiding_KAD_2007_01_13

The view of catch siding from 2007. This is visible in the map from 1929 as the track running over the tunnels 24 and 3 to be parallel to the reversing station. The end of the line can be seen near the numbers “75” This particular track too was a catch siding (though the map does not mention it specifically) – the hillock in the picture shows the remains of a permanent way on the top. For a reference, the regular railway track can be seen in the bottom corner of the picture.
The catch siding can be seen in yet another view from the olden times – this is the hill in the center with the railway track on it. The present day’s NH4 is the zigzag road in the foreground.

You guys have taken all the pains in trying to explain,pictorially, the Bhor ghats alignment.
I need to repeatedly compare the old maps/pics and the recent ones, to visualize the reversing station. Thanks Apu & AsHIsh!
