This rake is called the ' Brake Van Special' which consist of brake vans and empty wagons which cannot be attached to a loaded rake going up the ghat. They are parked at the siding in Kulem and are sent to CLR when a sufficient number of them have accumulated at the siding in Kulem.

This was where once goods trains did their AEB testing.
Railfans note: AEB testing is no longer mandatory on the Braganza Ghats.

This station was abandoned recently since a loop line to accommodate 58 BOXN+LOCOS+BREAK VAN could not be laid.

These are the AEB enabled Triple loco consists meant for the breaking and banking.

The condition inside this running room is pathetic. The beds get damp during the monsoon, there is no pantry inside this running and drivers have to either cook or go to the new running room which also has great looks but pours equally, inside during the monsoon.
This running room is meant only for the Castle Rock crew who work between CLR and VSG (upto Verna at times) and also upto Londa at times.

It is not two aspect signalling since two aspect signalling is used in sections where a downgoing train has to take a loop line at the station and then again take the main line after taking the loop. In this case the home advance signal is always at "proceed at caution" aspect with one red and one green light on at the same time and the home signal is always at proceed, which means proceed to loop line at 15kmph or the speed for which the turnout has been designed for. The starter signal in this case would be either red i.e danger or green which is proceed. I have posted what I have understood about 2 aspect signalling. If I am wrong kindly correct me.
Also no section between SBC and CLR has two aspect signalling.
