Dear Vivek Thanks. There is no need to close 3rd 4th lines. The project is to construct 5th 6th lines right from Kalyan Jn to CSTm to segregate the Mail/Express/Freight traffic from 3rd 4th lines to 5th 6th lines, leaving 3rd-4th lines exclusively to operate Fast EMU services.

This image is not "fake" but photoshopped to give a false impression of dramatic "parallel action". Look at catenary poles and OHE wires around the center of the image, they disappear into thin air! If you are stitching two or more images into one photo, at least take care to maintain continuity.

This is absolutely not a fake picture nor misleading. Thank you!

I just hope the authorities spare this rake from the airtel, BSNL, NSE and all other ads plastered over the rakes!

Nice coverage...one query, are 3rd and 4th lines closed permanently? I have never traveled through this area, so I dont have any idea. Someone please answer.

Perhaps not fake..but certainly misleading.

Vijay, this is 14567, not 14587. Baldies only go up to 14577 and '587 is KZJ loco. Thanks, Dan.

Dear Harsh,
The Image is not a fake, actually both the trains came in together at Vidyavihar on 4th and 6th lines and there were many more who have seen this event personally apart from railfans who were present. There are series of further pics which shows the coaches of both the trains moving together. However for your comment, let me highlight that the portion where you see the train on the sixth line has been zoomed up to highlight the main event and later stitched... hence you see the OHE half cut.

If the moderators, don't feel it right, they can delete it.

This pic is a fake. Look at the OHE laid above the track between the 2 locos and thats the dead giveaway. Wonder why the mods havent spotted this till now.
