The MG line to Sitapur does not terminate at Aishbagh but still goes ahead and ends just a kilometer from LJN; however, trains are operational from Aishbagh only. The goods line to avoid LKO cuts CNB line on flyover with CNB line on the lower level between Manaknagar and Amausi.

Immediately after LJN, you have a line to join main lines from LKO just before Alambagh Cabin, but these lines are very rarely used by trains from LJN to CNB and they use mainly the line which cuts the BE line on a flyover. The main purpose of this line is to facilitate movement of trains like 3019/20 Bagh exp, 5011/12 LJN-SRE exp, and 2209/10 CNB-KGM GR which have to move from LJN to BE line and vice versa.

I presume this would be the 1021 Mumbai-Pune (nee Mumbai-Solapur) Indrayani Express. My observation is based purely on the EXIF.

Lovely shot, great colours! What's the MG train it just crossed?

The snap has been taken from the same location where 13 mad men were mesmerised by a smoking GY WDM-3A incharge of the MYS-JP express one fine September evening!

@ Apurva "the mineral in the BOXN may be limestone whose low density allows the wagon to be filled up to the brim." It can also be gypsum or rock phosphate, both of them have low density :-). The latter can appear grey, yellow or brown.
