Why do you call it the staff shuttle? Does it stop at all stations between Bhopal and Itarsi to allow the staff to embark and disembark?

@ Doc: The timing in the EXIF is about 5 pm which is usually the returning time of railways staff to their homes. So might be that these railway staff find this train convenient!

Good capture! If I am not wrong this is a shot in between the two lines with the track towards Bhoapl on the left of the frame?

@ Vivek :- Absolutely correct.
@ Jitendra sir :- This is a staff shuttle between Barkheda and Hoshangabad as all the railway staff working in the Budni ghats gets into this train which stops everywhere in the ghats and all the Bhopal bound staff gets down at Hoshangabad and catches any other train back to Bhopal from Hoshangabad.
