Got some Old photos from My one & only MG trip.....
It was a great experience.
I want to share My story , its interesting how it happened.
The story starts as....
I wanted
...
more...
to go to Indore. So I decided to go to Indore from AK by MG train , but I missed the evening train. But the people at station suggested me to go and catch the train at AKOT. You will get it there, if you go by road, as train has slow speed .
Ok, then I started my journey by Bus to AKOT , and reached there but the train was already gone. Then I returned to Bus stand , but got there that the last bus for AK has already gone & I need to stay there .
So by this i can't get to Indore by next day . So, i need to cancel my plan to Indore. But I want to travel in MG.
So I decided to catch train and go to AK next day morning. As we do I reached station half hour early before the train is scheduled. But the scinerio what I got there was whole different.
The station was with very few people , Ticket counter was closed. So I enquired about train with some local people available and got that train comes about 1-2 hour late than scheduled time and Ticket counter get open before 5 min of the train.
So now I need to wait for one hour more.
The station was with different type of water feeding system , old type of electric switches, etc.
Then after waiting for more than 2 hours , i got the rhythmic melodious sound of Diesel engine.
I was stunned when I saw a brown coloured rakes arriving at station. As I was unaware about the colour. Train came about an hour late and i was full tired in hot sunny day at a station that was unknown to me.
But as train came hauled by YDM from MHOW , and I entered the train my whole tiredness that I was having was gone. & I was re boosted with a new energy. Was amazed seeing the Sleeper coaches, row of continuous windows, yellow lights, etc.
Enjoyed the journey. It was a great experience and always be in my memory.
Now it has being called of due to Gauge Conversion but still everyone who knows this train ,miss the train. #GC
Now a New passenger or Express will run on this track with much higher speed .

Pehle yeh train Indore tak extended thi baad mein Indore mein MG ka track hataa diya,for more BG tracks aur fir Mhow tak rakh di ....but now this route is already closed..for BG conversion....Ab Akola Junction se Indore tak mast BG route hogaa.I think this would be the shortest route between Akola Junction and Indore.bcoz Akola Junction to Indore via Narkher waala route bahut lambaa hai(Yeshwantpur»«Indore Express waala)...this new route via Akot,Khandawa would be beneficial for people and railways..

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
