By looking at the design, I believe this is a preassembled 'dead end' installed at the end of the turnouts/loops.

Looks like station end buffers to me.

At 1505hrs, the first peak was when we just flew out of Krishnarajapuram

How did you get that?

Excellent graph. From the graph, Patchur to Mulanur gradient is a steady 1 in 70 and and beyond Mulanur, 1 in 150 till Bangarpet.

i would rather like to see how the white beast performs on the upgradient. especially between JTJ & Mulanur with the 2639. Bharath, Can this wish be fulfilled?

hmm.. loop line at WFD.. slow down at Malur & Bisanattam and the PSR while negotiating the Mulanur-Patchur section. BTW there are spikes of 120.. is that too a signal spurt?

Please ignore the maximum speed-it was a signal spurt.

Yes, with probably around 75 caution orders b/w MAS-BZA you probably wont get anything better than this. BZA-BPQ does not look better either. We had the same situation a few years back and then things were better only to worsen again.
