➡️One of unique location to me where ER & SER meet as Masagram/ER & Masagram Jn./SER
➡️The terminal end of the Bankura Damodar Railway (BDR) is Masagram Jn./SER.From here passengers have to change to the ER station!
➡️The BDR (common name) operates Four pair DEMU trains, having a crossing station at Sonamukhi,as the whole route "HAS NO SIGNALS"

Great
Wished to see the DEMU rake of DLS/BNDM, anyways got the MC with Sri Jagannath Logo only.
🔘The MC belongs to the Rourkela-Sambalpur DEMU service (now MEMU), primarily alloted to DLS/BNDM which maintained it well. Later after linking of Saranda Passenger with ROU-SBP DEMU, the rake used to terminate at CKP and face maintainance issues. Hence rake was transferred to DLS/KGP (which ruined it!) and DLS/KGP started providing DEMU rake for the CKP-ROU-SBP services.
🔘The MC,even after re-arrangement by KGP, has markings of DLS/BNDM & Sri Jagannath Logo!
