Captured during my recent journey to Mumbai on Udyan Express from Bangalore. We were in the AC 2 Tier coach almost 17 coaches from the Loco and I literally ran to capture this awesome Loco interchange @ Daund Jn. Hope you all like this compilation. • Daund Junction railway station is a major railway station on the Mumbai-Pune-Wadi route of Indian Railways located in Pune district, Maharashtra, India. Northbound trains from Pune towards Ahmednagar and Manmad pass through this station. Daund is a major stop for passenger trains and is a major freight redistribution hub. The short-distance railway track to Baramati starts from Daund junction. • Watch my Video - WCAM3 The King of Ghats - • WCAM3 The King of Bhor Kasara Ghat... • Trains from Pune going towards Ahmednagar and Manmad stop at Daund railway station and then reverse the direction to proceed to Ahmednagar. The railway engine has to be detached from one end and attached at the other end. This takes minimum 15 minutes at the station and the total time taken is almost half an hour. Engines for about 40 trains have to be detached and re-attached every day. Many fast trains such as Karnataka Sampark Kranti Express have only technical halt at Daund to change direction. These trains can save more than one hour by bypassing Daund and going directly from Pune towards Ahmednagar and Manmad. • A bypass track or chord line starting just before Daund railway station and after Patas railway station and joining the track towards Ahmednagar has been proposed at an estimated cost of Rs.30 crore. This 1.5 km long chord will save considerable time and fuel as trains can go towards Ahmednagar without going to Daund station. The work was included in the annual budget of 2017–18 and a small token amount was allocated for this work in the budget. However, no visible progress had been made until April 2018. As of April 2019 bypass chord line is ready and awaiting Chief of Rail Safety inspection. A joint survey is planned for the construction of a chord platform for passengers who want to get off for Daund Junction after the commissioning of chord line
