The best station on this route for railfanning. And the only one that can be tried and accessed.
.
This station comes first after the descend from Sakleshpura begins. There are a few LCs but all are from the private estates and not for public. But you can try by getting down on NH75 and asking around and approaching the station
...

by mud path.
Once here, this is the image ----- a waterfall in front of the PF and an estate behind the falls with a small temple. On the other side is just mountains and forest - a heaven to just be there and wait for the freights or the lonely passenger to cross.
.
The only catch siding of the ghat is before this station. Just before the catch siding, the train halts for a few minutes and they check brakes and then start rolling down..... The tunnels and major bridges begin after this.

The AEB system is operated by a key, and each locomotive has a unique key.
At the beginning of the descent, the LP receives the key from the station master at Castle Rock. Once the AEB is enabled, the LP gives the key to the guard, who holds on to it till the descent is complete.
At the end of the descent, the guard hands over the key to the LP again and the AEB is disengaged. The key is handed over to the station master at Kulem.
