As i was going through AMS maps (thanks Anirudh Sir :P) for raigad district, I found this weird MG line running in Raigad district, almost perpendicular to today's KR/CR line
the line starts around Mulshi dam, at some distance below the main mountain range which has Mulshi lake, then runs along a stream that comes from the lake, and the runs alongside Kundalika river before crossing Kolad and then eventually terminating at Roha
Google search throws up nothing of note, although i suspect the line may have had something to do with maintenance...

This line was constructed by Tata Power Co. and completed in 1921-22.
For aiding the construction work around the Mulshi dam and the Tata power plants, Tata Power Co. laid out two light railways. One between Roha-Bhira and the other between Chinchwad-Mulshi. They also constructed one more railway line between Bhivpuri road and Bhivpuri. The loading gauge of these railways is somewhat ambiguous as some records mention it as meter gauge (like the AMS maps) and some mention it as narrow gauge. The Bhivpuri road branch line alignment is still traceable today.

Road transport was the main factor in the demise of many of the light railway lines. In this case, the lines were chiefly used by Tata employees only and they were laid down as light railways so that the maintenance costs could be kept down and also to ensure a rapid construction.
In the early days of the light railways, the tracks were usually laid alongside existing roads and in cases where there were no roads, the track was laid in such a way that the track-bed could also serve as a road if required. This way they ensured that construction costs were low, as surveys for line alignment and land acquisition issues could be...

Thank you. :)
The Chinchwad-Mulshi line is mentioned in several records of the TATA Power co. and the agitations on the line were the subject of discussion in some contemporary legislative assembly debates. One IRFCA member had tried to track the alignment and posted a few pictures of some ruined culverts in the gallery. But the TATA power co's records are the main source of any available information on the line.

Thanks for the info. I had asked the same question a few days back, and an online search led me to this page. The end of the line at Roha can be traced to an old jetty that extends into the river. Next to this jetty is an open space, which could have been the railway terminus at Roha. . The location of the terminus at the base of the Mulsi dam cannot be easily determined: lot of development there.

You pose the same question for every train. These are passenger converted express with 11 SL coaches and 8GS coaches with 3 rakes. Further they run to Tier-2 towns where requirement is non AC coaches. They can't get these many number of coaches as production of SL and GS is negligible and are being adjusted from other trains and spares by adding 3AC. Delta/kakatiya, GNT KCG, GNT Rayagada and Tirupati, MTM Vskp and Bidar, Manuguru Night train wil be the last trains to get LHB may be after 2029 after all trains are LHBfied.
It is suspended for RSA change, as per officials their is a chance of rolling stock change from Sleeper Category to 2S category. It might get RSA with Hundry/Bidar/SKZR ICE mostly, if not some other day train
The reason to change RSA is delay caused by Kakatiya is effecting the complete Cycle of Repalle series

RSA of Hundry/Bidar/SKZR ICE regarding bookings is wierd. SC - SKZR - BIDR has bookings for 2S,CC while Hundry has bookings only for 2S and BIDR Hyb runs fully unreserved. Adding Kakatiya to this combo will be a intersting one .
That would be something far reasonable RSA, running a day train which is very underrated in sleeper category with 11 reserved SL is ridiculous, changing it 2S category is badly required
scr got 10 lwscz coaches from mcf any idea for which train these lhb coaches are
