Nice details. The steam jets that encourage a draught through the chimney are visible below the blast pipe.

The early morning haze is just too good!!!
My parents were onboard Dhauladhar Exp the same day stuck at Ludhiana Jn.

True. However, we did not have any clue of when the train would leave at the time. So I preferred to stay close to where I could board the train in a hurry.

Nice, atmospheric shot. I would take these anyday, compared to a pic from a crowded big city station.

A Little more trudge down the tracks and a pic of the Pushpak with a typical village scene in winter would have been first class

It will be easier to have another branch frombehind Patus Sleeper factory joining after the Daund U turn, and to have a smaller second station at Daund for local residents. This can be only two platforms without loops. With future doubling of DD-MMR in mind, the junction can have double line which currently merge near the Bhima Bridge.
Any way after the U turn the train passes behind Daund station and distance is not large.

If Shantanus suggested alignment is to be used construction of a second bridge on Bhima will be needed, and Kasti station will also have to be upgraded as it will have to control a junction, with all trains using one direction except Karnatak Express and one or two weeklie trains.
