why did they spend money to convert it to second class, they could have kept it as it is and charged second class fare for it. Funny ways!!

idea to also go there and I understand You thought it
was worth it.

glad You also hade a footplate ride, I had the same. Today I look back at my video from this site and I hope to put it

Many thanks, Jimmy. A super set of pictures. I particularly like all the shots of buildings and lineside details as well as locos and trains.

The middle track and the one currently taken by the train are by default aligned to the catch sidings (lines going up gradient) and every Mumbai bound train has a mandatory brake testing halt here. After successful stoppage only the track is aligned to mainline and train is allowed to proceed down the ghats - Amruta Bhate.
