Very interesting. Wonder whether these are just crossing stations or are really intended to serve people? I dont think there will be many inhabitants in these desolate areas

Never seen such a steep gradient before!!The pilot climbing up the ghats must use all the horses at his disposal maximum notch if he were to tackle this gradient with a full load behind him.

MYS-MAS Shatabdi reaches MAS at 21:25 hrs, and so should be at AJJ around 20:30 hrs. Maybe you mean the SBC-MAS Shatabdi? And Rohit, it is MAS-MYS Shatabdi that reaches AJJ between 6:45 and 7:00 hrs.
