RailFanning & Info Gathering Trip Report:
-----------------------------------My DMM-MPL info gathering Railfanning trip. The last time I travelled in this route was in 2006 on Venkatadri MG Express from ATP to MPL. This would be the first travel in this route for me after gauge conversion.
-----------------
Trip Kick Off:
Target:

Gathering the info of No of PFs & SBs which lacked on IRI.
Did this rail fanning trip by the KCG-MDu Express. Inorder to get into this train, I had to come by road from SBC to DMM due to the lack of train connectivity.
Outcome: Target Achieved.
----------------------
Route Characteristics;
The Route from DMM to MPL is fully scenic as the terrain is completely hilly with lot of slops. The train would never be running on a flat terrain. Either it would be ascending or descending small gradients. Also the train would never be running in a straight line and would keep taking turns like a snake.
The loco would always be at work either by accelerating or decelerating. Cannot be on a Cruise control.
--------------------
Info gathered:
Gather the info on No of PFs & SBs for the stations, CCI, RLX, MGB, MVA, KCM, NCU, NCE, TKU, MCU, BTM, TAT, KBA, MPL.
This fulfills all the basic station info on the DMM-MPL Section.
Info on PFs is updated already. SBs would be updated soon.
