The Ghat Section is around 22km I think. All trains get bankers in this stretch :) You should see the loaded goods trains on this track though! They get 5 WDG4s(you might be knowing dis :P) and that is the most awesome thing in my opinion! :D
Do they get bankers while descending too? Which is the ascend / descend? Or is it that both ways there is a considerable ascend and descend? This is one the most beautiful videos. CastleRock station and the entire section must be a cool spot for all the rail fan action as well as nature lovers.
@bhushan80 Yes. bankers are used for both ascent and descent. From CastleRock towards Goa it's a downward slope. On downward slopes, the extra locos are used for braking purpose. So if there are a total of 5 locos, all will be on DB, to control the speed of the train. But while coming back, the combined power of all 5 locos is needed to pull/push loaded goods trains. And yeah, this is one of the most beautiful railfanning places in India. Planning to go there once. :)
@ahirwan Since I am planning to visit Dudhsagar water falls soon could you please tell me what train its and what time it runs between what stations ? Thanks and regards.
