पाली-मारवाड़ जंक्शन रेलमार्ग के बीच ज्यादा बारिश से मिट्टी व गिट्टी बह जाने से रेल यातायात ठप

Due to heavy rains, the railway tracks between Pali-Marwar Junction and Medta Road in Jodhpur division were washed away, disrupting train services.

the disruption, requiring train adjustments and changes in routes. For example, Train No. 14707 Lalgarh-Dadar Ranakpur Express was delayed for over two hours as it had to change its engine from electric to diesel and take a detour via Phulera-Ajmer. Passengers for Gotan, Jodhpur, Looni, and Pali had to halt their journey at Medta Road. Train No. 20475 Bikaner-Pune Weekly Express, while initially experiencing a minor delay, was also delayed by three hours at Medta Road due to engine changes and route modifications. Passengers for Got, Jodhpur, Looni, and Pali had to travel to a bypass station, facing the inconvenience of waiting in the rain due to the lack of shelter. Train No. 16312 Kochuveli-Shri Ganganagar, scheduled to arrive at Medta Road on August 5th, was rerouted via Ajmer-Phulera from Marwar Junction, forcing passengers bound for Jodhpur and Looni to disembark at Marwar Junction and use private vehicles. Train No. 19224 Jammu Tawi-Gandhinagar was delayed by two hours at Medta Road and rerouted via Samdari-Jalore due to track disruptions. Several trains were canceled, including: Train No. 04879 Barmer-Munabao, Train No. 04880 Munabao-Barmer, Train No. 04881 Barmer-Munabao, Train No. 04882 Munabao-Barmer, and Train No. 04846 Bilara-Jodhpur.

Bhari baarish ki wajah se, Jodhpur division ke Pali-Marwar Junction aur Medta Road ke beech railway tracks dhool aur gitti bah jaane se kharab ho gaye, jisse train service band ho gayi. Bikaner se Pali-Marwar Junction se ho kar chalne wali trains ko Medta Road par rok diya gaya. Aise hi,...

Bilara-Pipar ke beech bhi pani bhar jaane ki wajah se trains ka chalna band kar diya gaya. Yaatriyon ko is disruption ki wajah se pareshani ka samna karna pada, jiske karan trains ke route aur timings mein badlaav karna pada. For example, Train No. 14707 Lalgarh-Dadar Ranakpur Express ko do ghanta se zyada der ho gayi kyunki usko electric engine se diesel engine mein badal kar Phulera-Ajmer se ho kar chalana pada. Gotan, Jodhpur, Looni, aur Pali jaane wale yaatriyon ko Medta Road par apni yatra rokni padhi. Train No. 20475 Bikaner-Pune Weekly Express, halanki shuru mein thodi der hui thi, parantu Medta Road par engine badal kar route change karne ki wajah se teen ghanta der ho gayi. Got, Jodhpur, Looni, aur Pali jaane wale yaatriyon ko bypass station tak jaana pada, jahan unko bina koi shelter ke baarish mein khada rah kar train ka intezaar karna pada. Train No. 16312 Kochuveli-Shri Ganganagar, jo 5 August ko Medta Road aane wali thi, ko Marwar Junction se Ajmer-Phulera se ho kar chalaya gaya, jiske karan Jodhpur aur Looni jaane wale yaatriyon ko Marwar Junction par utar kar private vehicles se jaana pada. Train No. 19224 Jammu Tawi-Gandhinagar ko Medta Road par do ghanta der ho gayi aur track disruption ki wajah se Samdari-Jalore se ho kar chalaya gaya. Kai trains ko cancel kar diya gaya, jinmein Train No. 04879 Barmer-Munabao, Train No. 04880 Munabao-Barmer, Train No. 04881 Barmer-Munabao, Train No. 04882 Munabao-Barmer, aur Train No. 04846 Bilara-Jodhpur shamil hain.

Great Great:Nicely written 👌🏻
Inspired by the travel blogs of various wonderful people here, I want to share a particularly fond trip of mine, that involves various trains, a tourist trip to the Malabars and the best food experience ever.

It was the year 2014, and after my 8th grade final exams were over, my father had planned a trip with his office friend with our families for Kerala, Kanyakumari and Goa. The next day after my vacations had begun, we started out trip from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in the morning. We could have boarded from...

Panvel, but my father felt that it would be better for our peace of mind if we started from LTT.

There, we boarded our first train, the very popular Netravati Express, for an end-to-end journey till Trivandrum. Locomotive for this run was an Erode Alco Diesel, WDM-3D #11171. I remembered this number because of something that happened ahead, which I will share.

Luckily, both of our families had cabin seats in a 2A coach, which meant no disturbance. Once the train entered Konkan, we got stuck to the windows. This was our first time travelling towards Konkan, so us 4 kids got glued to our windows and took in all the greenery and beauty one could grasp. Tunnel after bridge after tunnel, the scenery was beautiful indeed. And with our coach close to the locomotive, the chugging made it all the more amazing of an experience. Good thing we were in an AC coach otherwise we would have all turned black from the soot and smoke.

Goa came in the night; Mangalore came early morning and Kerala started right after. Benefit of a slow train: we had a full day to experience the coast and backwaters of Kerala from the train. We went through Calicut, Ernakulam (Kochi), Allapuzha and Quilon and saw the backwaters and coasts passing right through us. We were also shocked by the number of coconut trees that adorned the railway tracks.

We finally reached Trivandrum by the evening, and stayed at a hotel for the night. Next day, we visited the Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the Varkala beach with its black sand (used to be empty that time, now it is a tourist spot). After roaming and shopping for two days, we left for Kanyakumari.

The trip to Kanyakumari was by CSMT - Kanyakumari Express. Older railfans will recognize this train as the famed Jayanti Janta Express. Newer railfans know this train as the Pune – Kanyakumari Express. It was a short trip, full of greenery, but the locomotive ahead got a shock out of me. It was the same Alco from my Netravati Express trip, down to the same road number, #11171.

We experienced the Sunset/Sunrise point (where the three seas meet), the Thiruvalluvar statue (where we were nearly thrown out into the sea by the strong winds coming from all three directions) and the Vivekananda Memorial.

We left for Ernakulam next day by the very famous Vivek Express. It was shunted by an Erode Alco #11171. I felt like this locomotive was the guardian angel for our family for this trip. Other than that, it was an uneventful trip, where we got down at Ernakulam Town (Ernakulam North for the railfans) at night. We stayed at a hotel nearby for the night and went for the Guruvayur Temple at Guruvayur next day by a passenger train. I was shocked to see that even a passenger train was near empty and clean. Visit to the Guruvayur temple was very serene and it fulfilled one of my promises that I had given to one of my best friends.

We also visited the Athirapally waterfalls, though due to the weather being swelteringly hot, the waterfalls were not at their full flow. Still, it was an amazing trek and a wonderful experience which had us spending the whole day. We returned to Kochi that night and stayed there till next day for shopping.

Our next trip was to Goa (specifically Madgaon), and our train for this trip was the Kochuveli Bikaner Express. This train is now Kochuveli Sriganganagar Express. It was an overnight trip, nothing special. But the locomotive attracted me. It was an EMD Diesel, and it was the first time I experienced the jet like sounds of the locomotive. I became an instant fan.

We reached Madgaon by the morning and took rest at the hotel till evening. For three days, we enjoyed the numerous beaches along Madgaon and Panaji. My father describes our Goa trip as our “three-day rest after a week of hectic tourism”.

Finally, it was time for our return to Mumbai. The train my father chose for our return was the Mandovi Express, this time led by an EMD. Once the train started, we kids got glued to the windows. Once the food arrived though, everyone in our entourage wanted more. The food was so tasty and so good that even my mother, who prefers home made food to train food, said that she would prefer the food of this train. We snacked ourselves with our favourite foods the whole day, to the point that we wanted more even though our tummies were full.

After a whole day of snacking, watching the Konkan beauty through the windows and resting afterwards, we finally reached Panvel at night, late by 1 hour. Boarded a local train on the next platform and went home to a nice, sound sleep.

This concluded my 10 day trip to the South and has always left me wanting for more trips towards the Konkan and the Malabars.

Railways should make rsa or rake sharing arrangements between 14707/08 Lalgarh (Bikaner) Dadar Western Ranakpur express and 14717/18 Bikaner Haridwar gita ganga express and should also give 2 lhb rakes to 14717/18 to make it daily between Bikaner and Haridwar and after doing rake sharing arrangements or rsa of both trains railways should do primary maintenance of 5 lhb rakes (3 lhb rakes of 14707/08 and 2 lhb rakes of 14717/18) at Lalgarh jn and rsa pattern of both trains should be like this 14717-14718-14708-14707 then primary maintenance at Lalgarh jn.
