First time I am seeing this anywhere on IR. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:37:17 +0000 |

The Dabhoi - Malsar train has a 3 hour halt at Miyagam from 15.15 to 18.10, so it can actually be considered to be two separate trains. End to end passengers from Dabhoi to Malsar would be better off traveling by road (30 km) Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:33:32 +0000 |

The NG station is to the east of the BG station, and definitely seems better maintained. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:23:01 +0000 |

The rake sharing of the trains on different sections can be seen here. The board reads Dabhoi - Chandod - Miyagam - Malsar - Dabhoi. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:17:30 +0000 |

Sorry, just checked the timetable. The Choranda - Malsar line is still open, with again one service from Malsar to Dabhoi early in the morning and the return service in the late evening. Three intermediate stations in between Choranda and Malsar have closed down. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:14:55 +0000 |

Are all these coaches originally used on this line, or are they put together from here and there? Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:11:00 +0000 |

I just love the semi - arid scenery in parts of Gujarat, sand all around, with just the right amount of greenery to differentiate it from a true desert. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:09:42 +0000 |

Choranda Jn. earns its junction status because of a branch line to Malsar, which is now closed down. I think it this line which is present in the picture, because Miyagam - Choranda - Moti Koral is a straight line. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:07:37 +0000 |

It is not actually a long halt. The service ends here, and the train returns as its counterpart, Choranda - Dabhoi Passenger. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2011 Sep 07 12:04:50 +0000 |
Once the biggest NG junction in the country with 5 lines radiating from it (to Miyagam, Pratapnagar, Samlayam Chhuchhapura and Chandod), today it has been invaded by the BG giants. But services are yet to start on the Vadodara - Dabhoi BG line.
