The '123' is indeed the distance in kms from Mumbai CSTM.

The 123 on the pole - is that the distance from Bombay?

Thanks, Apurva. Hope nobody was injured in those mishaps.

The catch siding was used once each in the 1970s and 80s. Strict complianced to the operating procedure has ensured that no mishap occurs.

Hi Apurva: Regarding the catch siding - do you (or anyone else on this forum) know if the catch siding has been ever put to use to 'catch' a runaway train or to stall a train due to brake failure?
