Yes, this is used as a trip shed for locos hauling freights and for the RTM power of 2449/50 Goa Sampark Kranti Express. Probably, the power of KR1/2 used to be stabled here pre-monsoon.

Is this a trip shed? Why was the idea shelved? Any idea?

There is a Christian healing centre here, and hence the name of the station.

Well Alok, the CR rolling stock has "Madhya" written on them. The WCAM3s from KYN have "Madhya Rail" stencilled across...until that has been recently changed.

This looks amazingly similar to the Circular Railway of Kolkata, when it used to run with a WDS, prior to the electrification. The huts in this part of the country also lie this close at some parts, to the railway tracks in the Circular Railway Line!!

That's perhaps one of the most 'dazzling' IR pics ever. Great snal Al!
