21500hp for ONE Train | 5 WDG4s Charge Up Braganza Ghats with Loaded Coal/Ore Rake

September 2021, Braganza Ghats, Karnataka
Five roaring EMDs make their way up the final stage of one of the steepest ghat sections in India, in charge of a loaded coal/ore train. Shot during the late monsoon season, the weather was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately poles have already arrived here and the days of this pure diesel section with its EMDs and ALCOs are numbered.
Thanks for watching!

[@ProtkarshKumar]

Why are buffers on long hoods removed?

[@rugved.dhavalikar]

Why in Braganza Ghat didn 't construct double track route?

[@dheerajrao]

Because it is treacherous terrain and the steep ghat section was built decades ago by the British.

[@rugved.dhavalikar]

@@dheerajrao Ok! But is it possible to built double track?

[@shrinivasnimkar5245]

@@rugved.dhavalikar railway track requires much more peripheral space, compared to increasing a lane of a road. It will require massive efforts and will destroy whatever nature is remaining there - in the name of 'development'.

[@poms97]

sad to see electric poles in this section

[@dheerajrao]

That's 'development' according to Indian Railways, sadly.

Poles overlooking the falls. Phew and Yuk. Is this video shot close to the falls Sir ?

[@dheerajrao]

No sir, this is just outside Castle Rock. As far as I know they've put poles till the second tunnel. Not sure if they've gone beyond as well but easy to guess considering their determination. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@alr2305]
