Unusual pair

Unusual pairing of diesel & electric traction, WDM-3A (diesel) and WAG-7 (electric) moving towards Kazhakootam

Light & Shadow

Far away from home shed, TATANAGAR WAP-7 powered Pune - Kanyakumari Express passing a light & shadow play in the morning

31 years

ERODE WAP-1 with 31 years of service powering a light load of Punalur - Nagercoil Jn Express

On a curve

One of the oldest trains of IR, Malabar Express negotiates the big curve as it enters Thiruvananthapuram city, powered by ARAKKONAM WAP-4

Contrasting colors

Red color of ARAKKONAM WAP-4 was making a beautiful contrast with blue sky, lush greenery and cream colored carriages

Sad sight

Once this premium class train had shining diesel traction but as traction changed permanently, started spotting with grimy electric traction

Empty train

ARAKKONAM WAP-4 moving to the siding with an empty consist of Thiruvananthapuram Central - Mumbai CSMT Express on a sunny afternoon

Visitor WAP-7

Far away from its home in Eastern India, HOWRAH WAP-7 powering my favorite train down in Southern India

Late start

Late start by 8 hours was blessing in disguise as it is impossible to spot this train around my area in the early morning in dim light

Old WAP-7

Old ROYAPURAM WAP-7 with fainted colors and hotel load port placed in a very strange way, diagonally, moving towards some siding

Sunny afternoon

On a clear sky day, LALLAGUDA WAP-7 powering Chennai Mail Superfast Express with HUMSAFAR livery generator car

Nostalgia

WAP-4 with ICF carriages, once a common sight but now a rare and nostalgic sight as WAP-7 and LHB carriages take over passenger train sector

First run

First end to end electric traction run of Thiruvananthapuram Rajdhani Express with KANPUR WAP-7 covering 3149 kms

Bye forever

After years of diesel traction, it was very emotional to spot the last run of ERNAKULAM WDP-4D with Thiruvananthapuram Rajdhani Express

Best ones

Future in balance as electric traction takes over, ERNAKULAM Diesel Shed sends the best of its locos for the final runs of this premium class train
