Situation 5: Trains from South going to North (Rajdhanis/TN/GT/Kerala/AP/Dakshin/APSK/TNSK/KSK, etc.) – These trains enter Nagpur from Balharshah – Sewagram side. As Sewagram is on the CSTM-NGP-HWH Mainline, these trains enter NGP from mainline itself just like the trains from West-East do. As a result, you can see the above trains on any of PFs at NGP.
.
When they depart NGP, they take a left turn towards Amla / Itarsi side. The passengers in these trains are able to see the diamond crossing on the right side, but they do not cross...

Please consider the Pink Line. The Green line has been erroneously marked by IRI Atlas.

South – North track: This is generally used by freight trains as this line joins the Nagpur freight yard located parallel to the station. The yard is connected to both HWH Mainline towards Sewagram and Itarsi line.

Freight Yard to Itarsi side: Cross Diamond Crossing
