With tongue in cheek - can I say that this looks more like a tombstone for this line ?? Will I ever be able to travel in a train on this line ??

This has to be one of the most scenic station on IR network. I wish someone can click the same scene in winter with snow on the peaks in background.

This is Mumbai bound Netravati express I guess.

This the dead end view.There is a heavy presence of BSF,RPF,GRP all along thr section and on every station enroute

Is this the view looking towards Srinagar or towards the dead-end?

Yes,these are point sleepers.Each point and crossing needs a set of sleepers of different dimensions.They have the rail fastenings embedded into them as required by the prefabricated point and crossing assembly.Note that these sleepers do not have rail cant tables.Rails on points and crossings are laid flat.

This is not a track-circuit box but a stripped point machine,of which the motor and some other components are missing-probably stolen or removed by staff.
Of the five rods,the leftmost is the locking rod,the middle two are operating rods and the rightmost two rods are the detection blades for detecting the correct position of the point.
