Here she comes !
This is the picture of the 2701 Up Goa Express (Miraj - Hazrat Nizamuddin) crossing the 315 Dn Pune - Miraj - Kolhapur Passenger. The location is Salpa (SLP) near Satara.
The 315 Dn on the right of the picture has been stopped so that the Goa Express can
continue nonstop on this single line section. These photos have been taken on a rainy mid
morning in July 1991. In those days, the BG Goa Express used to connect to the MG
7803/7804 Goa Express (from Vasco Goa) at Miraj. The 2701 Up Goa Exp (referred by the
railway men as 'Super' on account of its Superfast status) has left Miraj (MRJ) at 0645
Hrs to reach Pune (PA) at 1215. Then it would further travel to reach Hazrat Nizamuddin
(NZM) next day at 1400 Hrs.
The 315 Dn leaves Pune at 0850 to reach Kolhapur at 1955 while stopping at all stations on
this 328 KM route.
