Kachhwa Road is between Allahabad City and Varanasi NER line, closer to Varanasi than Allahabad.

Oh sorry! I just noticed that the EXIF data is mentioned. I guessed some of it incorrectly.

Excellent. To me it looks like the shot was composed on a full moon night just after the sunset. The reason being a night-shot without a flash would not be able to discern the colour of the vegetation as well as the hills. From the length of the streaking stars, I would say that the exposure time is around 10-15 seconds and perhaps we are looking towards north, or slightly north-east or north-west.

Looks like this motel is going to become a favourite with railfans.....good to see this one from a different time of day.

This is the same spot as Sachin's Night Rider picture in FC.

I can see 2 more lines at the bottom of the picture, where there doesn't seem to be any bridge to cross the khud. And count the number of stars seen in the sky!
