A Walk In The Ghats: Patalpani-Kalakund

I crave to cover meter gauge as much as possible before it vanishes completely from this part of India.
After three unsuccessful attempts, we finally made this trip. We being myself, Vivek Mishra and Aashray Pandya. We got down at Patalpani station and walked all the way to the third tunnel between Patalpani and Kalakund. We caught a few trains in between.

We return to Patalpani in the evening. The station that was full of life early in the day now eagerly waits for some action. (Vivek Mishra)

Just as we find out that our train is an hour late, it starts raining heavily and as a result the visibility deteriorates. (Vivek Mishra)

And here comes our train. Amidst heavy rainfall, an hour late running Khandwa-Indore passenger enters Patalpani behind Mhow YDM-4 # 6638. (Vivek Mishra)
