My first trip to my native in train on occasion of festival
From BNCE ( Bengaluru East ) to CMY ( Chintamani )and return as well
The train arrived on time at BNCE
Occupancy was good from YNK onwards and to my surprise almost half of the train got empty at CMY itself
Overall...

my journey experience was good both the ways

Coming to Electrification the route is completely electrified till Chikballapur ( CBP ) and all the RE poles and wires were stacked near CBP itself
I guess wiring is done till Gidnahalli ( Not sure )
Poles were placed only at CMY
