1 - 6 : I didn't upload the entire video. So you can refer to these pics, if it helps you to see the disturbed alignment.
-
7 -11 : This also from my video, I took but didn't upload. It shows some buildings and a half tunnel in front of them and some uprooted rails and sleepers. Not sure if it was from some track laid like the one seen on the bridge for this proposed station. And a huge block of stone.

In the video you can see lot of workers at this abandoned station. More than the stations in use. Don't know why.
@ 2: 42 you can see few of them clearing the useless track.

Thanks for the pics.
Regarding that stn as per info I remember after reading few articles/seeing pics, years back is as follows :
-
During MG days- There supposed to be just 3 stations in Ghat - Donigal, Yedekumeri & Shiribagilu. Yedekumeri being more like Break (Brake) Halt for crossing. Heard there was even Tea/Food stall for serving Passengers at that stn. Such
...

big might be that station.
-
During BG Conversion, two more stns were planned to be added - Kadagarvalli & Arebetta. So construction work started. Kadagarvalli was commissioned.
-
The Place at Arebetta had tunnel through hill. For loop line & Station bldg, they removed earth hill besides & above tunnel, but kept tunnel as it is for Earth Stabilisation purpose.
-
There wasn't enough land for loop line & safety sidings like Dead end, Slip sidings etc. That necessitated construction of bridge at both ends of proposed stn.
-
Station Building, Staff Qtrs, Restrooms etc. where constructed. Arrangement for holding solar panels etc. for electricity & others required works were done.
-
Loop line track was laid, Signal poles were erected. What just left was Track linking & Interlocking & commissioning.
-
Later news surfaced that, The staff (mostly Union) which were choosen/proposed to work at that stn, refused to work there, citing In-accesibility/safety & cut off.
-
Don't know what happened later, the plan left hanging & same status continued. The loop line track was occupied by shrubs & buildngs were/are used by track staff/maintenance/patrolling/ workers.
You can see Newly installed water tank on station building indicating some workers, patrolling staff etc stay there.
-
With last year heavy rains, boulders & earth came down near that tunnel of stn building. & During clearing debris & to clear path for Earth machinery to work, Loop line track in front of building was removed, only tracks at end part remain. Rest what is the plan for future is suspense.
-
If commissioned this would be one of the most scenic station on ghats for scenic landscape towards valley other than Yedekumeri & would better suited for crossing.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
