Motamarri–Vishnupuram New Line.

Motamarri–Vishnupuram New Line - is the line that connects Vijayawada-Kazipet line to Guntur-Hyderabad line. One of the intermediate station is to come up in Jaggayyapet Town. I visited this town yesterday. Here are some pics and info for interested railfans.

Pic 10: Just a pic of River Krishna which I crossed in the boat on my way to Jaggayyapet.

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.

Note: The above info is just for interested railfans and not for any IRI Atlas updation or anything as such.

I saw a couple of WAG7s hauling a department coach-like one used for workshop/restvan and such..... on Vinukonda to Narasaraopet section. It was moving fast from Narasaraopet side towards Vinukonda.
It was early morning and passed before I could take pic, also my bus was moving fast too. But my co-passenger said that some goods trains he has seen go with Electric locos.

I dont know. I have said whatever I could gather. So thats what I was told there, thats where station will come up. In Google Maps Mellacheruvu station can be seen, so naturally this bigger town "may" get one too. Anyway, like I said this is just info I came to know.

Doubling of this route seems doubtful Because of forest clearance. This route is still waiting for its completion. Some major part is already covered and crs Between Balaghat samanpur is likely to be on 15 Aug 2017 Delayed by 1 months As earlier it was planned to July 15. Tender for electrification of Gondia Jabalpur was already released and electrification Between Gondia and Balharshah is About to Finish.
