My dear friend, hello, I am an Assistant Commandant (Retd) of CRPF. I remained posted to Ajmer since 1990 to 1991. Our Companies were deployed in Hyderabad due to tense situation. So, I used to travel from Ajmer to Kanchiguda (Secundrabad) so many times in passenger train. At that time, it was meter gauge and train had First Class coach. So I enjoyed my journey always.
Watching your videos for last many days.. I am a railway man, working as Mail Express Train Manager at CSMT... Watching your videos I feel lucky and proud to be a small part of the one of the largest rail networks in the world ---- Indian Railways 🙏 Thank You Sandeep ji 🙏
My childhood was spent on trains powered by steam locomotives. What I miss most nowadays are platforms with trees and a base around it to sit. The trees in the mornings and evenings would attract scores of birds and their chirping was music to the ears.
I have travelled on this line in the year 1977 when it was meter gauge, from Akola to Secuderabad by Kachhiguda Express. Then from Secunderabad to Bangalore by Venkadri Express (this route was also meter guage) via Mehboobnagar, Dronachalam and Kurnooltown and Guntakal. In 1977 I was a student of Final Year B.Com. in LRT College of Commerce, Akola. Now settled in Mumbai. My father was a Railway employee at Akola, Bhusawal Division.
Last time I had traveled from Akola to Khandwa in May 1997. The MG train departed from Akola at 14:00 Hrs and reached Khandwa at 19:00 Hrs. It's more scenic than the route you have traveled. The famous Dull Ghat spiral and Melghat Tiger Reserve Forests are splendid through Hiwarkhed , Dull Ghat and Tukaithad.Now the route is under gauge conversion.

Sir, अब आप बुदनी घाट Vistadome कोच से भी enjoy कर सकोगे। 14 अगस्त से जबलपुर रानी कमलापति जन शताब्दी एक्सप्रेस में विस्टाडोम कोच लगने जा रहा है। Please make journey vlog
25:41 sir, इस scene को देखकर मैं भी भावुक हो गया, अपने जबलपुर की याद आ गई जब 2017 के पहले जबलपुर रूट पूरा डीजल रूट था जिसमे शक्ति और aqua livery वाले alco locomatives चलाकरते थे । आज ये सब alco locomatives एक जगह खड़े होकर , अपने आखरी दिन गिन रहा है।
Hello, this is my hometown Purna jn. I have been watching your videos from very long time and I knew you would definitely cover this region and you did it. Thank you so much for this video and showed the heritage of our historic station.❤
I have travelled in Meenakshi Express Meter gauge from Ajmer to Kachiguda numerous times and thid was my favourite route with stations like Pataal Pani and Kala Kund.
Ye video aaj 21 August 23 ko dekha, purane yaade taza ho gayi, Akola se Purna tak mai meter guage me safar kiya tha, safar raat ka tha, Purna se latur by road gaya tha, Akola ka curve wala line mere appartment terrace se dikhta tha, ab mai Nagpur rahta hu, 👍👍 MG train mai Akola to Indore bhi safar kiya hai, khandwa se train change kiya tha. Thanks Sandeep Bhai
वीडियो देख कर बचपन की याद ताजा हो गई, जब दिल्ली काचीगुडा रूट पर मीटर गेज में जयपुर से खंडवा की यात्रा किया करते थे। रूट पर हर स्टेशन का अपना एक अलग ही मज़ा था, चाहे जयपुर खूबसूरती हो, या अजमेर के पास नसीराबाद के कचौरे का स्वाद हो, या नीमच की चाय की चुस्की, आज भी याद आती हैं। मंदसौर से स्लेट पर लिखने के पेम (कलम) खरीदना हो या रतलाम की सेंव (नमकीन) सब आज सब आखों के आगे आ गया। फतेहाबाद के गुलाबजामुन व कालाकुंड के कलाकंद की याद आज भी मिठास घोल देती हैं। पातालपानी के घाट की खूबसूरती के तो क्या कहने, जिसे देखने के लिये पूरी यात्रा में इंतज़ार करते थे। जयपुर से खण्डवा की मीटर गेज की वे यात्रायें आज भी रोमांचित करती हैं।
Great capture on a route less travelled. Yes ALCOs definitely add flavor. Once the Indore - Khandwa and Khandwa - Akola gauge conversions completes the journey time will reduce considerably.
Mene bohot bar Hingoli se Ratlam meter gauge train me safar kiya h, jb me udaipur aata tha holidays me...... It was Awesome journeys.... I still miss this old route....
Sir you travel from ahmedabad to Bhuj... Electric wires are being installed on route but still diesel engine dominates this route of Gujarat... Love your videos
Delhi se Rajasthan ki taraf jane wali kafi sari trains abhi bhi diesel loco se hi chalti although lagbhag sare routes electric ho gaye h. Ap delhi se jodhpur jao via ratangarh din k time m, maza ayega. Mera hometown didwana bhi usi route p h. Abhi mansoon bhi h to rajasthan m kafi hariyali ho gayi h.
Great content and excellent editing. Add to that your engaging style of communication which makes the video very interesting and informative. Keep up the good work, looking forward to many more such videos.
One thing i would like to comment - I watch a lot of videos of you traveling with Sathya and both of you manage uploading videos yet so well without it being a repeat or any commonalities... Hats off to your partnership and information you share on your vlogs.. Keep up the great work Sandeep...
बात 1994 October की है। देश में प्लेग की महामारी थी और गुजरात और महाराष्ट्र में भीषण प्रकोप था। पिताजी की पोस्टिंग प्रयागराज में थी और मुझे बारहवीं की क्लास पास कर के औरंगाबाद में कॉलेज join करना था । तय हुआ कि हम प्रयागराज से हैदराबाद और फिर वहाँ से aurangabad जाएँगे । शाम के सात बजे काचिगुडा स्टेशन से ट्रेन ने प्रस्थान किया aur रात में क़रीब बारह बजे पूर्णा जंक्शन आयी। काचिगुडा से पूर्णा तक meter गेज लाइन थी और पूर्णा से manmad तक ब्रॉड गेज conversion हो गया था। पूर्णा में उतर कर दूसरे rake में baithna था ।। ठीक इसी तरह प्लैट्फ़ोर्म पर एक लाइट नहीं थी। पिताजी ने किसी तरह माथिस जला कर platform क्रॉस कराया। आपका video देख कर 30 saal पूरानी याद आ गयी। सोचा आप के साथ साझा करूँ।
hey sandip , hum bahut aise videos dekhte hai journey ka , lekin sandip journey se sab clear ho jata hai, lagta hai kahi impression bhi diya jay to samne Wale ko doubt sayad na ho, all the best my friend sondeep
Train is taking a longer route from Bhopal to Secunderabad via Khandwa and Nizamabad..If the train takes the Bhopal to Nagpur to Kazipet route you can save a lot of time..
Bhot badiya jo aap ne neemuch ka name liya neemuch ko apne vilog me add kara varna kuch vilog banane vale to neemuch ko dikha te he nihe Thank you 😊 sar jii
आपके साथ 32 मिनट की यात्रा कर के बहुत अच्छा लगा भैया... मैं भीलवाड़ा से हूं और chittaurgarh रेल्वे स्टेशन मेरे घर से नेट 100km दूर है, मैंने bike से मापा था 😊 Thanks
welcome in our area...selu रेल्वे स्टेशन (चना मसाला के लिये फेमस) is located in between परभणी to Aurangabad in Maharashtra.. please travel on this route also
iski jo meter gauge line thi, wo hyderabad nizam ne banwai thi. Kacheguda se shuru karke Mudkhed, Purna, Akola, Khandwa, Omkareshwar, Indore, Ratlam, Chittaur, Ajmer k Raste ye line Jaipur tk jati thi... Poori line ko khud Hyderabad Nizam ne banwaya tha... Uski Zid thi ki wo hr saal Hyderabad se Direct Ajmer jana chahte h.... isliye ye line banwai gayi... abhi sirf iska Omkareshwar - Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar Nagar (Indore) section bacha hua h... That was my experience. ...
I had travelled on this route during meter guage by Meenakshi express from Washim to Jaipur.... What a beautiful journey it was.... My grandfather had made a diary of the whole journey which includes the stations timings, snaks famous like kachora and the diesel shed of Phulera Jn... The diary is with me as his identity..... It was 2007 when I had travelled bt the route is still in my memories like greenery, tunnels, valleys and meterguage junction... Cant forget that journey... Once the Khandwa to Ratlam gets converted to broad guage then the route will be heaven...
Great video as always, wanted to ask a question, till the place electrification is there, why doesnt railways use Electric locomotive and then continue with Diesel locomotives in Non electrified routes? Isnt it more financially feasible?
Because that's unnecessary wastage of time + non-availability of locomotives at some stations where reversal takes place. For example Jaipur to Ratlam section is non electrified then Ratlam to Akola is electrified but then again Akola to Secunderabad is non electrified so twice changing the loco will waste time. This happens in many cases: the dual mode locomotives were expected to solve this problem- but they haven't arrived yet.
The original route was Jaipur Ajmer Chittor Ratlam Indore Mahu khandwa Akola Secundrabad. This route was meter gauge that time. Bhopal Itarsi were not in the route. Departure from Jaipur was around 12:10 pm and arrival in Indore was around 4:00 am. It was 1993-94-95-96…train name was Minakshi express. I use to travel Jaipur Indore & Jaipur Khandwa and way back.
I just travelled on this route on 04-FEB-2022 , I thought will request you to make a video on this unexplored route . But , you have uploaded it already . Thanks a lot. By the way Khandwa is my Hometown :)

Sir apne original meter gauge line travel nhi kia.. actually akola se khandwa ka train route Omkareshwar ho kar jata hai.. abhi filhal akola se khandwa broad gauge ka kaam shuru hai..
I traveled on this rout almost thirty years ago when my son was just three years old. We traveled from Indore to Hingoli via Akola. It was a meter gauge. Between Indore and Akot there were no major railway stations. It was the most boring railway journey. The train was from Ajmer to Secondarabad. We get to travel in First class AC. Otherwise it was very hot. Now it seems everything is changed. Akola was meter gauge and broad gauge. I lived in Hingoli for three years.
Dear Sandeep Bhai, Mai aapka rail gyan kosh bahut interest ke sath dekhte hai. Actually me mai aapka aur satya bhai don ka bahut bada wala fan hun.Meri iksha hai ki ek video Darbhanga se bhi bana lijie.
Bhai i have travelled in meter gauge with my family from khandwa to ajmer thru Mhow.... It was a superb experience travelled in FC that time as my father was a railway officer..
