FYI - the YPR-YNK and YPR-BAND lines are two separate lines and do not connect except at YPR. On the map it may appear as double lines only because they share an alignment and NOT operation. Technicalities must also be kept in mind. Again, the line that has been mentioned as a double electrified from BYPM to the MAS-SBC mainline is again incorrect, as only a single electrified line operates from BYPM and connecting it to the MAS-SBC mainline in the direction of SBC. The dual eletrified lines join the MAS-SBC mainlines just as they enter BYPL.

Could you kindly share how you could shoot the whole image in BW and get the signal in color?

In the 1944 timetable this is listed as Sagara.

This station is also referred to as the 'Ram Manohar Lohia' railway station by the local populace.

And yes, a message 'Please purchase platform ticket before entering the platform' written near the booking counter, was amusing indeed!

Beautful! Another quaint ol' line lost to BG in a few years :(

Brilliant set of pictures. This railbus may vanish soon, as I heard of starting of full-fledged BG services from Talguppa soon.

Also Rohit, a line is being constructed upto Tumkur, this again will be a bi-directional dual. Didn't notice that the BYPM-MAS line didn't exist in the map above, thanks-:)
