3. Pics 14 - 30 : Till HPT
- Industries, Power Plant, lot of freights.
- Electrification poles have been erected from KDN to a few Kms after DAJ - no progress from the last time I saw.
-
4. Pics 31 - 44: Hosapete.
- HPT to KBL the track has been laid, even over Tungabhadra river bridge. But still track linking and signalling is left. Similar to RDI-ASK line, where they are taking ages to complete the work even though the main track laying is complete.
- There is a sleeper manufacturing factory after HPT, there too some track issue I guess as the track is very close to the compound.
- The new personnel resting room can be seen in one pic.
- The line to KTY deviates immediately after the PF. Sugarcane field is next to it and then the line from KTY towards KBL joins.
-
5. Pics 45 - 51 : Munirabad and Hitnal.
- Hitnal has no PF, it is located just before the NH connecting Hosapete and Vijayapura.

Will continue in reply posts. Problem in uploading pics.
