Sir, this is quite wonderful. I had no idea BPL-ET was doubled as early as 1995. I was wishing I'd be able to catch a glimpse of the Amla-Nagpur section, but it seems like night had fallen by then!
It's quite pleasantly surprising to see how similar so many of the features are. For instance, seeing the still-very-much-the-same approach to Itarsi juxtaposed against the older liveries of coaches and locomotives.

Going from the side to side swing, it seems that the parts of the track (at least the section in Budni ghat) was still using fishplated, short welded rail at the time, though it's hard to be certain. One thing that caught my eye were those tankers lying by the trackside right before the Narmada bridge - remnants of some derailing?
Thanks for sharing this gem from the past!
