A small correction...there is also a DEMU that runs on this line - one trip each in the morning and evening.

What is the use for signalling in such a single train only line?

A very nice and different album. Liked the coverage of railbus and kudos to all young and veteran railfans teaming up and giving it a superb end result.

Ravi Sir, it is a Raj style station, not colonial!! and British was totally against construction of this railway line

Nice album, guys. The BWT-KGQ-YLK NG line is a historic one. The Mysore State Railways operated the Bangalore-Mysore railway line and other lines into the hinterlands of Mysore state. These railway lines connected all the major towns of Mysore state. The state wanted to fix fares for the SBC-BWT section too operated by Madras and Southern Marattha Railway. This was objected by the British Raj. So the Maharajah mustered his own funds and constructed the YLK-BWT line.

Great set of pics from one of the least explored regions. Nice to see IR still retaining such precious, lovely vehicle inspite of advancing a lot in technology!
