Re# 6051624-6              
I have experienced Itwari Bhilai route yesterday with Shivnath Express, it departed from itwari more than 1 and the half hr late , after kamptee it speeded up , at gondia outer it stopped for 3 or 4 times. Shivnath Express got delayed by more than 2 hrs . In the morning, after dongargarh I have seen almost 7 goods trains including one python standing on one line , on the third track , there were 4-5 goods trains on one line. If this is the condition,then this should be much needed, multitracking (doubling,tripling , Quadraling, even pendrpling, hexapling )
