The end of the passenger rake seen behind the EMD's is the Castle Rock Miraj passenger. It starts off empty from Castle Rock in the morning at aroung 0500 hrs. By the time it gets to Belgaum, there is not an inch of space left on the train. A very popular train with the locals but starting from the most non-descript location one could possibly think of.

Are you sure this is the GM's carriage? This looks more like a Chief Engineer's carriage to me. GM's Saloons are usually marked RA1.

Duzdap was renamed Zahidan. The Iran border was at Kuh-i-Taftan between Nok-Kundi and Mirjawa. Timetables of the 1970s showed this station.
