Narrow Gauge of the Satpuras

Pictures from Satpura Narrow Gauge network (Jabalpur, Nainpur, Mandla Fort, Balaghat, Nagpur). Satish Gune spent 3 days documenting this wonderful section in first week of February. With 24 trains/day Nainpur is probably one of the busiest narrow gauge junctions on this planet. The sad part is this great NG show will end in few years. After gauge conversion Nainpur will probably have same fate as Kurduwadi.
