Nice stuff Vijay.

Akshay, I look at it this way. Dahisar is the first station within Greater Mumbai limits where AC traction made its appearance, and now it is totally under AC.

Now Dahisar is the only station in Mumbai limits from where DC has disappeared.

You can get any one of three types:

1) Simple Diamond.
2) Diamond with a single switch
3) Diamond with a double switch

Simple Diamonds are quite common.

Diamond with a single switch can be found in some places. One place I remember (which could no longer be there) was south of Lower Parel on the UP Slow line.

Switch on a diamond in the manner of this photograph is, as far as I know, very rare and except for north of Thane, I have not seen such a point anywhere.

Thanks for sharing. That answers a few questions I had about the place since 2006, when I travelled to Jammu on my way to Vaishnodevi.

I used to wonder where trains from ASR to JAT could bypass Pathankot and avoid a reversal. Your layout has clarified that - reversal is required at either Bharoli or Pathankot.

I am so glad to see the Jogindernagar line is still alive and kicking.. I better get there ASAP

Good work, Ankit.

Nice! Perhaps you can make one of Jalandhar area too.

really! had a hard time at Google Maps understanding the place.
