Yup it will be interesting to see how SWR treat this one.But han I am sure this will be good for both passenger and freight purposes. In Karnataka we have lot of good census towns which are away from rail connections and recently one of which getting on rail line is Gangavati so same like Bagalkot district have Mudhol
jhamkhandi
rabakavi banhatti
Which...
more... might be on rail line in future with Bagalkot kudachi so now left Ilkal and Gajendragad which may be come on rail lines.. Same like Laxmeshwara
Shirhatti those come on Gadag yalvigi line
Like this such places can be profitable in future if SWR run trains through these places connecting major cities like Hubli.And same like railways should propose routes in Central, South Karnataka &Coastal Karnataka with less forest land
