Akola - Mhow Meter Gauge Journey

[@prakashmaharashtra]

मैने 8 साल पहले ये यात्रा की है, आज अचानक ये विडिओ दिखा, और यादे ताजा हो गई , थँक्स

[@fullmastiinjharkhand9397]

Those childhood days will never come again. Only memories will remain. Thank you so much for the video you showed that day.

[@kuldeepthakur4609]

Purani yade taza ho gai....thankx bhai uplode for this video

[@shaikhmohammadfaiyaz2724]

In childhood we use to go Ajmer by Purna to Ajmer passenger train. Thanks for sharing this video, it's remind me my childhood days.

[@drvivek08]

A million times I saw this train departing from Akola, but never thought that journey would be so spectacular. Now broadguge line would bypass forest due to environment concerns. (Environment is more important than views.)

[@prabhatsourya3883]

It does hurt, but it is better to not bring mainstream trains into the pristine forest. We need to leave forests alone. There is also the possible danger of some wild animal straying into the tracks and disrupting the services. So it's better we leave the environment alone, and let the wildlife live it's life.

I had travelled once in this train, it was my one of the best train experience. I had my journey from Akola to Omkareshwar..The amazing view of these route makes you feel good..

[@devisomaya7080]

Thanks again Balakrishna and You tube !

[@darthvader5550]

Great route --- We used to travel this route when were small kids --- Ajmer Kacheguda passenger --- used to take almost 3 days. The express was introduced later after we moved back to AP. Brought back childhood memories .. Thanks for sharing.

[@humanjoy0808]

I used see the meenakshi express running from Madurai to Jaipur since 1978at age 10!. Later in 2006 I travelled purna to Jaipur. In 2008 Jaipur to Khandawa. Due to Gauge conversion, its journey was limited from akola to mhow. Now I learned that the ghat section being converted too! Salute to those who constructed this route in 1951!

[@pankajawachar3972]

My father was Guard on Meenakshi Express at that time, he tells so many stories of his duty times

[@pankajpathak222]

Meenakshi express never ran till Madurai.

[@SouryaDP]

@@pankajpathak222 Yeah, it apparently ran from Secunderabad to Jaipur in the 90s, but when gauge conversion began on the marathwada section and the Secunderabad-Purna section was converted to broad gauge, the express only ran from Jaipur to Purna, with a link train completing the rest of the journey till SC.

[@madhavpatole3968]

[@jeanclaudeMalbec]

You give us 40 minutes of happiness. What a beautiful trip on this exceptional route! The colors are real works of art and especially there is life in this beautiful video. We would like to make this trip in these Jessop cars with metric track. The train is heavy, the engine of the diesel locomotive head YDM 4 "gives voice". Animated train stations, viaducts, tunnels, a mountain landscape: the most beautiful video on this subject. A big thank-you ! This railroad is a heritage: it must be kept as it is.

[@jay_balakrishna]

Thanks for your generous comments! Glad you enjoyed the video.

I traveled to Akola on broadgauge by Intercity express and Akola to Mhau on mitergauge by passenger train

[@kaasu9327]

17:38 - Great speed!!! IT just amazes me how our country has built the railways. Whether they see profit or not, the efforts taken to build railway lines across mountains and remote areas is just too amazing!

[@AMehra-im1gr]

And also with much less damage to the environment as compared to what is done now for infrastructure purposes

[@johncrawford6571]

That was impressive! A fine journey indeed! This shows that a narrow gauge can run about as good as any class 1 standard or broad gauge railroad. Would like to see more of these!

[@nn082007]

+John Crawford Hi. This is Meter Guage and not Narrow Guage. In fact, one of the last few remaining isolated MG rail networks in India.

[@johncrawford6571]

+Inonone Hello. Yes, I understood this as Meter Gauge. I was basing my comment on the knowledge that around the world that there is such thing as a "Standard Gauge" for railroads, which is 1435 mm (1.435m), or 56.5 inches in the US and UK and other places. Any size of track which is less than that is usually referred to as "Narrow Gauge" because it is narrower than the standard. There is also a "Broad Gauge" which is wider yet than Standard Gauge. There used to be one in the Northern UK and the railroad system in India uses a track width of 1600 mm (Someone correct me in the comments if I am wrong, please. Thank you.). This is broader than the standard. So in general, when anyone makes a comment about a narrow gauge, they are simply comparing sizes to the standard gauge. Other sizes of narrow gauge that are, or were commonly seen around the world were the "Cape Gauge" 1066 mm, meter gauge (1000 mm), 914 or 915 mm, 762 mm, 750mm, 610 mm and a 500 mm down in South America along the southern most part. There are many, many more. However, thank you for the information. I hope to see more videos of the MG in India before they go away! I like how they fit into the communities they serve. They seem more of a personal touch to those who ride them than the big ones do. Once again, thanks! :)

[@keyurijoshi3323]

+John Crawford : Glad to know that you liked video of Akola-Mhow MG line. This is my most favourite rail line. I appeal you should watch the video of " MG Ride on Akola Ratlam passenger by Harris Kiran". & " Reaching Khandwa, Akola- Ratlam MG pass. by Mani Vijay". Thanks. - Rajanish Joshi

Miss these meter gauge trains. Always hoped that Indian Railways convert such lines as heritage lines.. just a wish. What was the average speed of this train. What was the probable speed at 17:55.

[@jay_balakrishna]

Not sure about average speed, but speed at 17:55 is 75kmph. That's the speed limit on that section.

[@streetvideos260]
