Naturally decorated NG station at Petlad (Naveen)

As we go on the slow wild safari, we spotted camels, deer, peacock and monkeys right by the railway line. (Naveen)

The line that branches out to right hand side connects the main line to NG/BG island platform. This line is used during the morning departure, as the 5:00 am passengers from Khambat have connection with the Nadiad bound NG service, which departs at 06:00

If not for the many cyclists who use this alignment for a shorter ride, the railway line can hardly be seen. (Harish Kumar)

A local cyclist takes his chance against the train. (Harish Kumar)

An abondoned station between Petlad Jn. and Bochasan Jn. There were more than 6 such stations that were abandoned between Petlad and Bhadran. (Harish Kumar)

This line may not be jungle safari, but we did spot many wildlife along the railway, which include Lion-tailed Macaque, Bonnet tailed Macaque, Langur, Common Mongoose, Peacock, Peafowl, White-necked Stork, Black-headed Cuckoo, pied woodpecker, Owl and kit

We casually run into Bochasan Junotion... err Junction (Naveen)

As we approach Bochasan, we cut across the BG line before entering the station. (Harish Kumar)

Our little co-passenger, who showed quite an interest in train travel and railway talks. (Naveen)

The BG side of Bochasan Jn. This BG section connects Vasad Jn with Kathana. Two passenger trains between BRC and KTNA runs every day. (Naveen)

We found almost all the stations in the section have big banyan tree to form the natural canopy to the NG train. Even being a junction for two different gauges of train, Bochasan see only 3 pairs of trains passing through each day. (Harish Kumar)

The aerial roots of the banyan tree act as blinds on a sunny afternoon (Harish Kumar)
