Journey Through The Aravali Ranges..
JOURNEY THROUGH THE ARAVALI RANGES
Being the First MG Overnight Journey (After almost 12 Years) I was very excited . There were also two co-railfans along with me in this Journey , Adithya and Sarabha Saaluvesh . This journey was a part of our MG Trip That we made in june-2015 (IZN MG , JP MG and Udaipur) .
Highlights of Udaipur section
The Main Attraction of this line is the Scenery . The line passes through the Aravali Ranges ,Particularly Ride in this MG Express would be a bliss as it crosses the aravali in the evening .
There is only one tunnel en-route ie The ZAWAR Tunnel which is located just before Zawar Station .
There are two crossing for this train enroute , one the 52928/Mewar Fast MG Passenger And The other being the counter part of this train 19944/Ahmedabad Udaipur Express (MG)
The First one crosses at Umra while the second crossing happens midnight at HMT Himmatnagar .

The only source of food enroute is the stall @ZAWAR railway station . I would suggest any traveler (Whos willing to take this train) to get the dinner at Udaipur Itself as The Zawar Stall has absolutely Nothing except for tea and snacks .
HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR JOURNEY
-We Encountered smoke coming out of the under carriage part . We quickly informed the TTE who was in S1 (we were in S2) when the train halted for an un-scheduled Halt near ZAWAR . The TTE Informed the Guard and the LP/ALP About this and in return the message was that , they would check the train at ZAWAR since the train was now halted at a no man's zone deep inside the aravali . At Zawar the crew inspected the carriage and extinguished the fire that was coming out of it . We Departed Late from Zawar but still managed to reach HMT On time
-The View of the spectacular Aravali Ranges in the evening with the MG Rake Dancing .
-Parallel Action Outside ADI Railway station with JAT - ADI Express..
Overall The Experience Was Very Good.. This is a must try train :)
