Many thanks, I remember when we were kids, mom used to stuff blankets, bedsheets, pillows and what not for the five member trip. At that time the berths used to be wooden that too gaps between the adjacent wooden planks. some people use to just open the holdall and make it a nice bed.

For all practical purposes, there is a 30 kph speed restriction at that point. Pantographs are still lowered and raised. The mainline track has a groove cut into it by the flanges of the crossing wheels. The major benefit has been significantly lower maintenance. A similar (but less complex) crossing at Bhusawal has a far less restrictive speed limit of 75 kph.

Note the height differences! No speed restriction on the nearly horizontal line, but compulsory speed restriction on the nearly vertical line.

A nice educative album. Thanks Deepak.
