Great info and it is good to know that Maroda terminal is taking shape, We can hope that the twin city may get more originating trains in near future. But the Maroda project was not evident in SECR pink book!
because fund given for Durg coaching yard but as per survey durg does not have enough space to hold Full AC 22 LHB coaches thats why they looked to alternate and Marauda is an isolated place so here they can easily use the space also the route is not used widely so they can go easily to any end.
We can see rakes parked at adjacent stn at Bhubaneswar also, Long back, before formation on SECR & Chhatisgarh, New coaching complex was planned at Rasmara to the west of DURG.
Rasmara the main problem is the river bridge if rakes go to there and parking done then they have to stop freight and passenger movement, this is not feasible on Main Route.
