Situation 5: Trains from South going to North (Rajdhanis/TN/GT/Kerala/AP/Dakshin/APSK/TNSK/KSK, etc.)  

– These trains enter Nagpur from Balharshah – Sewagram side. As Sewagram is on the CSTM-NGP-HWH Mainline, these trains enter NGP from mainline itself just like the trains from West-East do. As a result, you can see the above trains on any of PFs at NGP. 

.

When they depart NGP, they take a left turn towards Amla / Itarsi side. The passengers in these trains are able to see the diamond crossing on the right side, but they do not cross it as the train is entirely on a different track. 

Situation 6: Narrow Gauge trains of NGP (SECR) Cross the Diamond Crossing (NGP-CWA Passenger)
