Acha.. I was not knowing but it was days of MG Era where lot of MG carriage cum wagon mix rakes used to run on this route.. Miss those MG days lot now. That time I use to think when they do Gadag Bijapur broadguage and run BG trains and was also happy seeing BG running in newly Broadguage line and MG rakes and YDM locos parked idle at Gadag yard some days after they started dismantling loco and sent some where and scrapped MG small rakes that time too I didn't felt any sad but slowly I started missing those MG loco and rakes which I used to travel in my childhood.. Now also I miss those MG trains running between Gadag Bagalkot Bijapur..
