One of the best location for railfanning. Even though majority all the trains cross at night time (don't even dare think to do railfanning at night here), but still at afternoon time lots of diesel action is visible. Best time to railfanning photography is from 1430hrs to 1800hrs. This afternoon time is safe and no disturbance will be there. Catch the 1425hrs dep Pune-Nanded-Nzb passenger from pune and it's the 3rd station from pune.
The first train from aftrenoon starts with the pune bound jhelum express (if its late which its always gets late). Then enjoy the KJM hunk udyan express, Pune hunk Goa express, south TVC trains, jammu bound jhelum , SUR king Hutatma exp and Hyd shining express, with inbetween

continuous freight actions. All the action is presently in diesel traction, but soon in 2-3 years electric locos will rule this region.
There's a gradient at a distance with turn towards Loni-Daund side, which makes a valuable catch for rail photgraphers.
At about 1730hrs, local passenger will come to station to return pune by the 1830hrs dep daund-pune local. 15min prior to train arr, the SM comes and sell tickets. Return to pune jn. by this train. The last local to return pune is at about 2030hrs (which majority of time comes late as it comes from NZB).
Precaution:
Keep your bag full of eatables snacks and water as at platform its nothing present.
People are bit curious to see a person taking photographs of trains. So don't get rude if they ask for the reason. Show them your collection. If happy, they themselves will pose for a snap. !! ;)

Manjari Budruk Is a Heaven for High speed railfanning.
Here There is No Loop lines like Hadapsar, Loni , Uruli stations. So trains pass raising dust storms.
Now reaching here by PMPML bus is bit difficult and time-consuming.
So I am updating Passenger Trains Timetable along with by which Railfans can adjust there timings of railfanning.
PS:

Posting this tip based on my recent journey.
.
For going to Arulmigu Kallazhagar Thirukkovil (Azhagar Kovil) in Alagarmalai, bus number "44" will be available in good frequency in front (platform - 1) entrance, which takes around 45 minutes - an hour(max), and will drop at the entrance of the temple. Ticket cost is Rs. 31/- per person. And return direction, the same bus you can get down near madurai junction.

For going to Pazhamuthircholai Arulmigu Solaimalai Murugan Thirukkovil, from Azhagar Kovil, which is roughly 3.5 kms, buses run by HRCE of TN govt is available at the entrance of the temple in every 15 - 30 mts frequency at Rs. 10/- per person. Also, there will be a staircase/walkway at the entrance of the temple, one can even walk in that to reach the temple.
.
Both temples close by 8 PM in the night.
.
And if one has to come to Arulmigu Meenakshi Amman Thirukkovil, from Alagarkovil by bus no 44, can get down at simmakkal bus stop, and it is walkable from there, around 500 meters.
.
And if one has to go to MGR bus stand (Mattuthavani), direct buses will be available but frequency is not that much, if direct buses are not available, one can take 44 bus and change at goripalayam for MGR bus stand (Mattuthavani).
