Thanks
Very useful tip.
The Bridge is well lit even during the wee-hours and has railings to hold on to.
There are ramps on the bridge in the middle but no ramp is available at the entry and exit points. It takes approximately 15 mins via this bridge to get to BDTS from Khar Road if you walk at a medium pace.

can also see the Bandra Terminus Trip shed on the way to spot some locos.

The best mode to get to Bandra Terminus is by this skywalk from Khar Road.

Food --

Railway Canteen is available b/w pf 1 & 2. Taste is really very good. Must Try.

Railfanning ---

You can go to Steam Loco Shed which is just at beside the station. Around 5 locos were there. A good amount of around 30-35 MG coaches were lying at Coaching Depot.
Also you can visit the Railway Museum which is just b/w the Steam Loco Shed & Station.

Bus stand is 500m away from the station, where plenty of buses ply to Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Coonoor, Ooty & Mysuru.
If you want to hire a car to Coonoor/Ooty that's also available only you have to bargain with them.

Cloak Room is available.

The train from MTP to ONR takes 3.30 hrs but by road it can be reached in an hour. If you are traveling by road from MTP -- ONR then be ready to capture some mesmerizing shots to the left of the road.

Its the Allahabad ELS.
Location is: While coming from CNB side and going towards ALD , its on the left side just at the ALD outer signal (Once Naini is crossed reach to the left hand side of train).
All kinds of E Locos are available on exhibition here ranging from WAP 7 , WAP 5 to WAP 4 and sometimes if lucky enough, you could even capture MGS WAM also.

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. !! ;)

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
