Re# 6205333-30              
My only fear is that they may reduce CC to 20 LHB as it's having Secondary maintenance at Vasco and pitline there can't accommodate more than 20 LHB coaches.

Making 18047/48 a superfast express will be a welcome move !

Maybe after doubling the entire route and tripling some stretches, it may be upgraded as superfast.

Doubling areas left, the current scenario:-...
more...


1. Vasco-Cansaulim (personal observations at Cansaulim rail gate while returning from Colva via Arossim last December, double line was almost ready between Majorda Jn - Cansaulim. Has been commissioned this June).

2. Kalem - Castle Rock (Earthwork between Kalem to Kulem and Tinaighat - Castle Rock stretches were in progress as seen last December).

3. Bugganipalli Cement Nagar - Giddalur

Tripling in progress:-

1. Narayangarh - Nergundi Jn

This may sound very weird --

Ginigera Jn -- Raichur Jn NL if wholly constructed can reduce traffic between Guntakal Jn to Ginigera Jn by diverting HYB SC bound trains in the new line. Last December I had seen passenger trains operating between Ginigera to Karatgi. Now the line has been opened till Sindhanur.

LD-BAY section, I believe, is saturated with iron ore goods trains.

These are my views on superfast upgradation

Is it that pitline that curves towards the right just after departing VSG towards Dabolim followed by crossing the RUB where the road connects Vasco to Mangor Hill ?
