Complete line info:

The signalling poles have been erected as seen in pics. But still some work is left.
Track Switching work is pending.
The mainline has been laid (replaced) with 60Kgs rail like PF 2 at Kunigal. Other PFs have 52 Kgs rail.
Some PF work at all stations like roofing, FoB, Station building works are still pending.
At some places RoB, RuB work is nearing completion. As per new standards, there will be no LCs.
The entire work is on at a fast pace, trying to complete it by this month end itself. If not, they are hoping to start train operations by March end.

Other stations (whatever info I could gather) after Shravanabelagola SBGA are:
Hirisave
Yadiyur
Kunigal
Thippasandra
Solur
Nelamangala - NMGA.

Moderator sir,
I have not tagged this post as there exist no page for this station. Though I couldn't ascertain the code and distance of this station exactly from Nelamangala - NMGA, my guess is 60 Kms (railway distance). If a station page can be created it would be helpful for members to add info and also for those interested to follow the progress. Once officially the info is available, the distance could be corrected. This is my suggestion. It's up to your discretion to take it up.
Thanks.
