Dear Harsh,
The Image is not a fake, actually both the trains came in together at Vidyavihar on 4th and 6th lines and there were many more who have seen this event personally apart from railfans who were present. There are series of further pics which shows the coaches of both the trains moving together. However for your comment, let me highlight that the portion where you see the train on the sixth line has been zoomed up to highlight the main event and later stitched... hence you see the OHE half cut.

If the moderators, don't feel it right, they can delete it.

Sigh, such an ugly looking structure. Do the people who design station structures these days even have a basic degree in architecture? Agreed it is the age of cost savings and everything, but how expensive could it be to think of a decently good looking design for station structures?

This pic is a fake. Look at the OHE laid above the track between the 2 locos and thats the dead giveaway. Wonder why the mods havent spotted this till now.

OMG! Their is rail-fracture in turnout! And to the left of gangman there is a single, rail laid on sleeper. What purpose does it serve? And catenary vanishes in mid-air..

@Srini - Yes, we did drive along the allignment at a few stretches near Gidnahalli and Chintamani. The distance from where the car is parked in the pic and where the station is located is around 2 km. However halfway there is a massive "hump" around half a meter in height which can only be negotiated by a SUV/MUV/other heavy transport vehicles. Hence we returned back and chose to walk the distance.

The three musketeers from BLR have done a wonderful rail fanning trip to a territory which must have seen the lovely small NG locos and trains in the past and which will see the BG beasts and trains soon. Thanks for sharing the photos and the trip report.

This station building looks exactly like the one that I saw being constructed at one of the stations between Pakala and Madanapalle.
