The Konkan Kanya Express (Train No.10111) starts from CSTM, Mumbai and the final station is Madgaon, Goa. I caught the train at Dadar (11:20pm). It was expected to reach Sawantwadi at around 8:30am the next morning. But recently, the trains running on this route have been reaching the destination late.
But the journey is indeed beautiful. I woke up at 6:00am. The train had halted at Sangmeshwar Road. As it crossed the station, the sun rose, creating beautiful shades of pink and purple in the sky.
The train crosses through many long tunnels along the way. And obviously, the mobile connectivity is poor or non-existent.
I saw a train carrying tens of trucks, not brand new ones, which had the drivers in the cabins. I wonder where it was headed? New platforms are being constructed at the smaller railway stations along the way. Maybe that's the reason for the trains being late.
I finally reached Sawantwadi at 10:55am, almost two and half hours late. But the scenery that one gets to see is so fantastic that the journey never becomes boring!
Peace!
