On Down Main Through Line between PF1/PF2, BTPN Oil Tanker Rake (headed by Diesel Engine) was seen going towards GIT Yard Area. On Up Main Through Line between PF1/PF2, SCR DEMU Rake was seen ready!
As soon as 11042 MAS-CSTM Exp went ahead cleared points, this DEMU Rake also went towards Lonavala (trailing 11042 Exp). In the...

As EMU was heading towards Shivajinagar (SVJR), at Pune outer, 12127 Mumbai-Pune ICE (Inter City Exp) headed by KYN WCAM2P # 21861 was seen waiting for line / points to be cleared by my EMU.

I finished a small work at CCH in 10 min and returned to CCH Station at around 10:45 hrs. Soon, 11007 CSTM-Pune Deccan Exp headed by KYN WCAM2P Engine went towards Pune at good speed. Following this, BCNA Rake headed by twin GTL WDMx locos went ahead towards Pune.
My return EMU LNL-Pune Local came (late by 15 min!) at CCH and was held up there for an overtake! Here, CSTM-SBC Udyan Exp headed by GY WDG4 # 12266 went ahead of my EMU. During return journey, near Dapodi, I saw Pune-Karjat Shuttle headed by PUNE WDM3A # 18737 heading towards Lonavala. At Shivajinagar, my EMU overtook twin Guntakal Alco headed goods train (that had gone ahead earlier). Between SVJR and Pune, on the Mula-Mutha River Bridge, I saw Pune-Bhusaval Exp headed by KYN WCAM3 # 21887 Engine.
