The loco looks so good..

... and there was a reversal at KZJ involved as well!

Jitendra, LJN had a different layout some years back. PF 1/2 were island type then. It was actually 3/4 you are talking about which were island type with 4 as MG and 3 as BG. The PF1 line was uprooted and PF 1 became a non-island platform then. At LKO, 8/9 are dead-end ones. They are not very long platforms but then most of the east bound passengers start from there as well as the Intercities to LKO/BSB except Varuna because it has a longer rake.

Picturesque location !!

On 21st March, 6529 Udyan left Mumbai with the same loco. So the link goes like this: 6530(15th March)-0111(15th/16th)-0112(16th/17th)-1029(17th)-1030(18th)-0103(19th)-0104(20th)-6529(21st)!

Quite interesting ...looks menancing run....nice

very nice !!!

Nice...

Yes Ranjeet, LJN is a terminus (used to be pure MG in the good old days). LJN belongs to NER and LKO to NR, though both are in the same compound so to speak.

Samar, very good map. You can actually differentiate between the NER and NR lines without any help of different colours. In the MG days, both the Kanpur and Barabanki sectors had both MG (NER) and BG (NR) lines running parallel, though NER lines had to take the loop through Badshahnagar.

1) In 1993 when I took the MG Nainital Express from LJN to Lalkua, PF 2/3 was MG with BG lines on both sides.

2) Are PF 8/9 of LKO dead - ends and which trains start from here?
