Hehehe.

Is it necessary to comment on my remarks ?
.
Anyways, until ages, LKO-CNB was called as branch line specifically til LKO-CNB was parallel MG-BG however things when it BG double later on...
more... electrified.
.
However still heard oldies nd railwaymen calling it a branch.
.
The trunk/main line were MGS-ALD-CNB-NDLS and MGS-BSB-LKO-SRE.
Perhaps, LKO didnt have a train to NDLS via MB-GZB until the prestigious LKO mail (not a SF than) was introduced.
Other to NDLS were LKO shat(recently extended from CNB), non sf neelanchal (via pbh)
