Train is Pune-Indore Express at Bhor Ghats, Maharashtra.
It's a slip route (used when the trunk like is crowded). And that's a hill section.Why is there only one track?
BTW, the landscape is beautiful!

Rage said:The issue is one of capacity, I believe. Bombardier and the Bombardier plant at Savli were expecting a further order for 100 coaches from the Delhi Metro Rail Corp. in 2009, in addition to the 424 coaches previously ordered by them, some of which will be manufactured at the plant in Savli. Bombardier expects to deliver 384 coaches before the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in Oct. 2010, and the balance of the 80 by mid-2011. In the meantime, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority officials have promised to have the first line of the MMRP : Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar; Colaba - Bandra – Charkop; Bandra - Kurla – Mankhurd, operational by December-2010, to which end they will need the rolling stock in the city by early 2010.
Given that Bombardier and its plant at Savli have their order books full with the DMRC and its proposed extensions (see below), China's CSR would be the logical other choice [cheap, cost effective and proximate].
As for the Mumbai Metro, work's goin' on in full swing. Throwing the city into a maze of chaos and traffic jams where work was progressing (as if we didn't have enuff already).

Interestingly, this is not the only tender for rail coaches for the MMRP sought; it is only the first for the first phase of the project. Here's affirmation to that:
The other two phases, to be completed in following years, have evinced interest from a consortium of 20 major companies, including Bombardier:
