Many people from Mumbai travel to MSMD, KRAR, KBJ, TIG, KSNG, MNGD, RGDA, PVP, VBL, VZM & VSKP and there is one train ie., Train # 22848 LTT-VSKP SF EXP. It can't be made daily because in the same path Train# 12811 LTT - HTE SF EXP, Train # 12879 LTT - BBS SF EXP, TRAIN # 22865 LTT - PURI EXP are there. Since BBS & PURI are having another train ie., TRAIN # 12145 so it will be better if this train was made daily and leave slots of Train # 22865 & 12879 to VSKP. It will be better if the timings of Train # 12811 is changed for the convenience of people of HTE.

One of my own good captures taken last year.
The mighty Raipur WDG-3A Twins thunder past with BPTN wagons with good speed at Kottavalasa Junction as the lil Plasser works on silently on the loop track.
