On my last Visit to Katra, J&K on asking the localities, the trains to Katra are expected to start very soon. Even the tracks and station from the above from the Helicopter seemed to be ready. If so it will be a great help to all the yaatris of Maa Vaishno Devi and it may also help to ease and reduce number of passengers at Jammu Railway Station.

Yes, we traveled by helicopter from Katra to Sanjichat, and the blue lines are platform sheds ;) The picture is not that clear as it was taken from just outside the helipad which is at a distance from the station :)

Had a very nice and comfortable helicopter ride, it takes approximately 5 to 6 mins. max. Number of passengers are depending on the total weight, but max is 6 passengers and per person is around Rs. 1400 return fare and the bookings can be made on shrine board website. (Difficult to get tickets but !!!). The track seems to be complete and should start by Mid-2013, hopefully ;) I even heard they are working hard on connecting Srinagar to Jammu also...and the work is going on at a good speed...all and all I saw good rail development at J&K...but I sincerely feel Jammu station needs an upgrade...less facilities and too many travelers !

Dear Admin Friends,
The Distance between Mumbai Central to Rajkot Junction is 738 kms. But while looking at the distance info of 19215 Saurashtra Express, the distance shown is 752kms. However, 19005 Saurashtra Mail displays the correct distance. I kindly request you to rectify the same
Thank You.

Dear Sir,
The information provided for Saurashtra Mail is correct but information displayed for Saurashtra Express is wrong, as it displays 752kms, it shows as follow :
Mumbai Central/BCT to Rajkot Junction/RJT
Travel Time: 16h 58m 51 halts Distance: 752 km Avg Speed: 44 km/hr

Today, I traveled by 12928 and was shocked to see WAP-4 LOCO attached to the train, and even more surprising was the train came on Vadodara Station platform number 1 at 10:10, which usually is not the case. It used to come around 10:25 at the platform previously, which sometimes lead to delay in departure by 5 to 10 minutes. I kindly request admin to update the LOCO (However, I am unsure about loco on 12927 BCT - BRC). Thank you :)

I agree, but till now Vadodara Express even after being an Super Fast Train used to run on WCAM-1 LOCO. This is a good move from Western Railway according to me.
