Line Info:
1. I was surprised that the line is electrified too. I thought that a basic new line would be there with Goods trains hauled by Diesel Locos using it.
2. I was told that the line is electrified till Mellacheruvu. And further till Vishnupuram the line is completed and its not electrified.
3. The black soot on the tracks is that of Coal. Many freights here are of coal and the line caters to the various heavy industries in and around this town and further.
