Few years back iron ore from Karnataka used to get dumped here and then moved by trucks. The sidings were always occupied by BOXN Wagons now after mining ban they are empty.

Suppose if Goa Express departs late from VSG, then will Rani CHennamma Express wait for the slip coaches at Londa? Moreover does these slip coaches really goes with RC Express? because RC has got just a 2 minutes stop at this station!

Yeah!
Thats what I wanted to ask the question: "Moreover does these slip coaches really goes with RC Express? because RC has got just a 2 minutes stop at this station!"
Because there are no tickets from MAO to SBC. SO what I am thinking is to come in Goa Express from MAO to LD, and then book in RC Express from LD to SBC as there are plenty of seats available.

RC halts at Londa for 10mins, though TT shows its 2mins, its given slack from Khanapur-Londa so TT does not show it as 10mins. Slip coaches get attached at Londa, hence the 10mins halt. Goa never gets rescheduled as it has an extra rake.
I feel its safe to try Goa/RC combination changing at Londa. Others who may have actually tried this can suggest better.

I recently took this route...Goa express has extra rake and chances of getting delayed is minimal. Also, when RC arrives at Londa, coaches are attached and average time spent for this is 10-15 mins....When Goa exp arrives at Londa, UBL-NZM portion gett attached to Goa express and SBC coaches are detached here

Nice Video. A detailed video for those who haven't travelled in this scenic route. Thanks.
I have a few questions, could you or anyone please let me know:
1. At QLM and CLR there were sheds with a UBL WDG4 in it. Was it Diesel Trip Shed?
2. At LD there a big structure on the left with lot of tank like things at

top, is it water tank - a relic of the steam engine era? Why such height?
3. At LD the 3 link coaches were detached and which loco shunted these coaches to the loop - Goa Express's EMD or the loco that came with UBL-NZM train?
