There are actually two pitlines at Vasco. Old one which can accommodate max 20 LHB and has catwalk on both the sides, second one which can fit 22 coach LHB rakes but it only has full catwalk on one side shared by the old pitline and on the other side catwalk is available only for a few metres so only the Vasco Azara LHB parcel rake undergo PM on that one and it haa full 22 coach LHB rake.
Vasco pitlines are not there where you say they are at the station itself.

The one line curving towards right following Mangoor Hill RUB was previously a loop line used shunting rakes now it's removed and besides it a second track is laid till the small temple which will serve as the second line for Vasco to Dabolim doubling. Previously they had to demolish the small temple to double the line but now they have changed the alignment such that second line passes besides the temple without demolishing it.

It has now been removed, and a second track has been laid beside it until the small temple. This will serve as the second line for the Vasco to Dabolim doubling project. Previously, they had to demolish the small temple to double the line, but now they have changed the alignment so that the second line passes beside the temple without demolishing it.
