So here I start off with my report:
-------------------------------------------------
I got up early in the morning at 6:45 am and soon at 7:30 am departed towards Kankavli station for booking all alone. Quickly walking from Gad Nadi viaduct I reached Kankavli station at 7:45. Standing in the que I was seeing around the counter. Almost 500 people I was able to see. Was just wondering will I able to get a seat in UR coach of 50106. Meanwhile Konkan Kanya departed Kankavli at 8:00 am. Booked tickets of 6 adults and 1 child which reached the amount of Rs. 555/-. The 7 included Uncle, Aunt, Sisters, my bro and me. Clock strike 9:00 and first announcement was made that 50106 is slightly delayed by 10 to 15 mins. At 9:35 train arrived with WDM3A #14049 and we were shocked to see that it was occupied almost 25%. We all got inside the 16th coach of the train and somehow we occupied 3 seats of coupe next to the door and 4 in next coupe. Departed in 3 mins and a great chugging sound of loco can be heard. Train managed to reach speed of 100 kmph and soon in 15 mins we arrived Nandgaon where Sawantwadi bound Rajya Rani was waiting. Was getting bored and in Lazy mood. But then I came to know that the people sitting with us will deboard at Ratnagiri. So I finally got a window at Nivsar, but due to lazy mood I missed Xing of TVC bound Raj and JS. At 11:50 we arrived Ratnagiri. Quickly we brought the 4 of 7 in first coupe and had to adjust but will not leave the Window seat :P. Here we tooked first eatable that was Malvani Shev at 10 Rs. Departed Ratnagiri at 12 noon and had lunch after departing.......

Part 3 -
Its now 4pm, Vendors were busy in our train and to make their profit, we buy Chinese Bhel cost 10 RS which was very tasty. at 4:04pm, we were expecting for an overtake by 12431 TVC NZM Rajdhani Exp which overtook us at flat 109kmph. Soon after Rajdhani passed Netravati Departed towards Khed and we were again waited for more 5 mins. At 4:10pm we were departed from Veer for next halt station Goregaon Rd. Reached Goregaon at 4:18, Mangaon by 4:27, Indapur by 4:41 & Kolad by 4:54pm. All trucks were waiting at Kolad to get on the RO-RO. We Departed Roha and in my mind it was going that 'Shit Man, Now soon in Minutes I m going to Leave

Konkan. Kitni Sad feeling hai' Abhi Kankavli me rehta toh Cricket khelta'. While thinking this train slowed down and I was now peeping out of window to capture the 'Thanks for travelling on Konkan Railway' Board but I missed it again and it was almost 5th time I missed it. Reached Roha and I had decided to do some door plating now but when I saw all the doors of the coach, it was full with peoples and luggages. Sadly I decided to sit on Window seat. Reached Nidi and we waited hear for 2 mins and departed slowly. I was known that 50105 had derailed in some 500-600 mt range so I was peeping out of the window and soon WDM3A of Ernakulam was able to see. Quickly started the cam and clicked some pics and was shock to see such dangerous derailment. I think so the reason of derailment is high speeding on curve. After we left Bhise tunnel, bought a cutting tea fir RS 5. Reached Kasu at 5:52pm. Cucumber, Jamun vendors from near villages entered our train. Departed and was made to wait at Pen Outer for almost 5 mins and we entered Pen at 6:15. Under 50 sec at Pen made the appearance of WDP4D #40133 of GOC with 12619 Matsyagandha Express. Both trains departed Together. Reached Hamrapur at 6:34 late by 21 mins. After Departing we came across the 270 degree curve near Jite. At this time I was sitting on the outermost seat but still i was able to See the loco. Soon clicked some pics. Now it was time to enjoy sunset. Reached Rasayani well by 7:00 pm and Somatne by 7:08pm 21 mins late. Made it till Panvel by 7:20pm 15 mins late. Now almost 75% train got empty here and now I went to stand at the door. Between Panvel and Diva we met up with Diva-Roha DEMU, WDG4 #12668 and crossing of BCNA Rakes. Reached Diva at 8:20pm 10 mins late, and I met up with my Father who had came to pick me. Went on PF#1 to leave my Uncle, aunt and Sisters, brother. Soon I went on PF# 2 to catch local towards Bhandup.......
