** PLEASE CLICK THE CC BUTTON TO READ SUBTITLES DETAILED INFO ** • Presenting to you some highlights from my small visit to this 2 feet 6 inches narrow gauge railway network of Indian Railways near in Himachal Pradesh, known as Kangra Valley Railway . This NG section lies in the sub-Himalayan region of Kangra Valley covers a distance of 164 kms from Pathankot, Punjab to Jogindernagar in Himachal Pradesh via Baijnath Paprola. This gorgeous railway network which falls under Firozpur division of Northern Railway (NR), was commissioned in 1929. The train runs close to the Dhauladhar mountain range of the great Himalayas. • When the 'Maharana Pratap Sagar reservoir' or the 'Pong dam lake' was constructed between 1973 to 1975, the line had to be partially diverted between Jawanwala Shahr Guler stations into higher grounds along the eastern shore of this new reservoir. As a result, Anur, Jagatpur Mangwal stations on old line were abandoned several new stations were opened later on new alignment. • About this video, I boarded 52473 Pathankot-Joginder Nagar passenger from Pathankot, led by ZDM4A #228 of PTK (PATHANKOT) NG DLS alighted at Guler station, from where I boarded 52472 Joginder Nagar-Pathankot passenger to reach backPathankot. This train was powered by ZDM4A #223. The locomotives spotted in this video are listed below; • PTK ZDM4A #228 (ex-MIB/MOTIBAUG, Nagpur) with 52473 Pathankot-Joginder Nagar passenger, • PTK ZDM4A #223 (ex-MIB/MOTIBAUG, Nagpur) with 52472 Joginder Nagar-Pathankot passenger, • PTK ZDM4A #231 (ex-MIB/MOTIBAUG, Nagpur) with 52466 Baijnath Paprola-Pathankot passenger, • PTK ZDM4A #219 (ex-MZR/MURTAZAPUR • PTK ZDM4A #205 with some passenger train at Pathankot, • A pair of scrapped PTK ZDM3 #185 + #179 at PTK DLS, • Red PTK ZDM4A #225, #208 (ex-MIB/MOTIBAUG, Nagpur) a scrapped red ZDM3 #182.
